Ebenezer Erskine (1680 - 1756), along with his younger brother, Ralph, were Scot divines who lived during the times of the Great Awakening, and were well acquainted in godly fellowship with the likes of George Whitefield and other greats of that time. Both Erskines were well respected as scholars and preachers, and both bore much fruit for the kingdom of Jesus Christ through their preaching and writing. The whole works of Ebenezer Erskine may be found in portions at various sites on the web, although printed copies are still scarce.

"There is his [God's] throne of justice, where he judges sinners according to the tenor of the law or broken covenant of works. At this bar, every unbeliever is condemned already; from this throne, their final and irreversible doom will pass at the last day... Before this throne, no living flesh can be justified." The Throne Of Grace

"Terror and amazement, death and ruin, are the fruits of God’s appearing to sinners from a throne of glory, or justice." The Throne Of Grace

"The thrones of many earthly potentates are reared and built up with violence and oppression; but the throne of God’s kingdom of grace is established in righteousness. The Son of God, as the Surety of sinners, submitter to satisfy justice, and to undergo the judgment and the condemnation of the broken law, by which he brings in everlasting righteousness; and upon this bottom or foundation the throne of grace is established, and upon this basis (as Pool reads it) will it stand for ever." The Throne Of Grace

"God’s administration of grace is founded upon the complete satisfaction of justice by his eternal Son as our Surety. Or take it thus: That justice satisfied and judgment executed upon Christ as our Surety, is the basis and foundation of a throne of grace." The Throne Of Grace

"The grace of God in pardoning and justifying the ungodly sinner, is founded upon the propitiatory sacrifice of the death of Christ; and grace’s administration being built upon this ground, God is just in pardoning the sinner that believes in Jesus... The government of grace is founded on righteousness; that is, upon the righteousness of Christ, by which justice was satisfied in the execution of judgment upon the Surety." The Throne Of Grace

"In one word, then, By this throne of grace we are just to understand God manifesting himself in our own nature, and dealing with sinners through Christ according to the grace of the gospel." The Throne Of Grace

"Israel was a theocracy; the Holy one of Israel was their King, and the mercy-seat was his throne. It was an important type of Christ, and the most solemn and sacred thing in all that typical administration." The Throne Of Grace

"A throne, you know, is a seat of majesty, peculiar to sovereigns. Let none imagine, that the glory of God is any thing lessened by his sitting upon a throne of grace, or that less reverence is due to him here, than upon a throne of glory or justice. Indeed, the boldness of faith is both allowed and commanded in our approaches to this throne; but this does not diminish, but increase the soul’s reverence and holy fear." The Throne Of Grace

"God's voice in the thunder makes the hinds to calve; but his voice from a throne of grace makes the dead to live, the dumb to sing, the lame man to leap like a hart: and no wonder, for his words are spirit and life, yea, words of eternal life." The Throne Of Grace

"Acts of grace only pass at a throne of grace; acts of mercy at a mercy-seat. What an air of infinite majesty does God display from his throne of grace, when, beyond the expectation of men and angels, he issues forth that royal act of grace declaring rebels exempt from penalty!" The Throne Of Grace

"Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, and all the ministers of Christ, what are they but so many heralds ordained by the King, who sits upon this throne, to intimate and proclaim his will of grace to a lost world?" The Throne Of Grace
