"So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple."
The EGW passage directly echoes the sentiment of Luke 14:33, which speaks of forsaking all to be Christ's disciple. The wording is very similar, suggesting a direct allusion.
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
Both passages address the idea that one cannot be fully devoted to both earthly concerns and God. While Matthew 6:24 uses the metaphor of serving two masters, the underlying principle is the same as the EGW passage's statement about not being Christ's disciples if overly attached to earthly things.
"The life and spirit of Christ is the only standard of excellence and perfection, and our only safe course is to follow His example. If we do this He will guide us by His counsel and afterward receive us to glory. We must strive diligently and be willing to suffer much in order to walk in the footsteps of our Redeemer. God is willing to work for us, to give us of His free Spirit, if we will strive for it, live for it, believe for it; and then we can walk in the light as He is in the light. We can feast upon His love and drink in of His rich fullness. 1T 408.2"
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
The EGW passage directly quotes and expands upon the concept of 'walking in the light as He is in the light' from 1 John 1:7.
"For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:"
The EGW passage explicitly states the need to 'follow His example' and 'walk in the footsteps of our Redeemer,' which directly echoes the principle of following Christ's example as presented in 1 Peter 2:21.
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
The EGW passage speaks of the 'life and spirit of Christ' being the standard and striving to live for it, which aligns with the theme of Christ living in the believer as expressed in Galatians 2:20.
