His mercy is extended for "whosoever".

Christ's sacrifice does indeed appease God's wrath against sinners - but only those sinners who accept by faith His grace demonstrated on the Cross of Calvary...as in the case where those who refused to bring a lamb to the door of the sanctuary were cut off, so it is for everyone from Adam to...
