Wendelin (Chr. Theol. II.24, th. 11): proper/principal/proximate object = Evangelical promise of sins expiated by Christ’s death.

Penitent believers received into grace for Christ crucified apprehended by faith.

Each applies that promise to himself in particular — thus believes unto salvation.

Explanation: Christ crucified for us/me/you + free remission by His blood — special mercy applied by faith.
