A. B. Simpson was an author, hymn writer, conference speaker, evangelist to the urban masses of New York City, and a missionary statesman. He founded The Christian and Missionary Alliance and Nyack College.
The following is from his book The Christ Life:
"The personality of Christ is intimately connected with our salvation.
"We are not saved by embracing a creed or believing a doctrine, but by accepting a Person.
"'He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.' 'There is now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.'
"Our relation to the Lord Jesus Himself settles our destiny. Jesus Christ is Himself the Father’s Gift to sinful men, and the acceptance of that Gift brings us into fellowship with God, and makes us partakers of all the benefits of redemption.
"Just as Adam was the living personal head of our fallen race, so Christ is the Living Head of the redeemed race, and 'even as all who are in Adam die, so all who are in Christ shall be made alive.'"
