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 resurrection of Christ is the power that sanctifies us. . . . Indeed, it is the risen Christ Himself who comes to dwell within us, and becomes in us the power of this new life and victorious obedience.
"It is not merely the fact of the resurrection, but the fellowship of the Risen One that brings us our victory and our power.
"We have learned the meaning of the sublime paradox, 'I have been crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.'
"This is the only true and lasting sanctification, the indwelling life of Christ, the Risen One, in the believing and obedient soul."
