Indeed Jesus did not do the same for everyone, which means that His atonement for sins is limited. Here are some Bible verses which further support that position:

Isaiah 53:12 “Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.”
~ (He bore the sins of many, not all).

Matthew 1:21 “She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” ~ (His people, not all people).

John 6: 37-40  All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” ~ (Everyone who believes, not everyone).

John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” ~ (For the sheep, not for the goats).

John 10:14,15  “I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.” ~ (For the sheep, not for the goats).

John 10: 26-28  “but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.” ~ (Goats do not become sheep, but Jesus sheep hear His voice).

Romans 8: 29-31  “For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ~ (Those He foreknew, predestined, called, justified, and glorified, not all).

Romans 8: 31-32 “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.” ~ (US all, not everyone whoever lived).

2 Corinthians 5:21 “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” ~ (WE, not everyone).

Colossians 2: 13-14 “And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.” ~ (Forgiven US, not everyone).

Ephesians 1:4 “even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.” ~ (Chose US, not everyone).

Ephesians 5: 25-27  “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.” ~ (Gave Himself for her (the church), not for everyone).

Hebrews 10:14 “For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.” ~ (Those who are being sanctified, not everyone).
