The Righteousness of Christ requires  or necessitates efficacious atonement. If His Atonement did not satisfy Divine wrath for specific sins then there would be no Righteousness for specific sinners!

Christians are under the power of GOD... Not the power of sin! ! If a person is still under the power of sin then he is not a Christian because the power of God in the Gospel sets men ~Free~ from the power of sin. Therefore, those who believe that they are still sinners and cannot stop sinning, and say that everything they do has sin in it, or is tainted with sin, are testifying that they are still in bondage to sin and know Nothing of the liberating power of God in he Gospel that sets a man ~Free~ from sin!
