And Jesus' sacrifice made sure that no-one can claim to have offended God and got away with it, otherwise God would not be sovereign. That is why Jesus' sacrifice is effective. God is satisfied, and what people do about it is their own business in that respect.
But you don't seem to believe and/or understand that truth. Let's look this from a human example:

You owe 5 Trillion dollars to a debtor.
You are incapable of work, you have no means whatsoever, and you are sitting in debtor's prison.
Someone comes along, takes pity on you and pays off your debt in full.
This person further agrees to pay for any and all debts you might incur in the future.
The Debtor is fully satisfied and thus you are no longer liable for the original debt nor any future debt.

It doesn't make any difference whatsoever whether you accept the other person's act of incredible generosity or not. The debt is PAID.... the debtor has been satisfied and thus no longer holds you accountable. If you want to go on thinking you still owe the money, that's fine, albeit stupid.
That's not what people who have heard the gospel do, though. They know that their debt has been paid, but they refuse to admit that they owed it. But they cannot live with that, because it is a lie, and that is why they are eternally condemned by their own consciences.
