A.B. Simpson emphasizes the importance of faith in the act of consecration, urging believers to accept sanctification as a divine gift and to boldly confess their identity in Christ. He encourages Christians to firmly stand on the promises of God, declaring, 'I am Yours,' and receiving the assurance that God responds with 'You are Mine.' Simpson highlights the power of testimony in affirming what Jesus has promised, urging believers to acknowledge and claim these truths as their own. He instructs them to disregard their old life and to recognize their new identity in Christ, even when past struggles resurface. By doing so, they affirm their position in the heavenly places with Christ, reinforcing their faith and commitment.

Consecration is entered into by an act of faith. We are to take sanctification as a gift from God, believing and confessing that we have it. We must step out on it firmly. We must let the devil also know we have it. When once we tell the Lord, boldly, "I am yours, "He answers back from the heavenly heights, "You are Mine, and the echoes go ringing down through all our lives, "Mine!" "Yours!" If you dare confess Christ as your Savior and Sanctifier, He has bound Himself to make these truths a reality. But you must stand behind His mighty Word. It is the essence of testimony to tell what Jesus has promised to become to you. It is right to have a glorious word of testimony. God would have us put our seal on the promises and lift up our hands and acknowledge them as ours. Then you are to ignore the old life and reckon it no longer yours-even if it should return to trouble you again. Every time it appears say, "This is from the underworld. I am sitting in the heavenly places with Christ."
