I have no advice to give thee but one; it is an old advice, a new advice, and the only advice that can be given while the world stands; it is the very same which Paul and Silas gave to a poor pannel, trembling at God's bar, crying, 'What must I do to be saved?' The plain advice they gave him, I give this day to you, Acts xvi. 31, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved:' agreeable to which are the words of Christ himself, in the first part of the verse where my text lies, 'He that believeth on the Son of God, is not condemned:' and ver. 16, 'Whosoever believeth in him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.'
Ebenezer Erskine — Sermon XI, "Unbelief Arraigned and Condemned," on John 3:18, in The Select Writings of the Rev. Ebenezer Erskine, vol. 1, Doctrinal Sermons (Edinburgh and London: A. Fullarton, 1848), p. 296
