"When these angels come to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation, and witness the exhibition of selfishness, of covetousness, of overreaching, and benefiting self at others’ disadvantage, they turn away in grief. When they see those who claim to be heirs to an immortal inheritance so penurious in dealing with those who do not profess any higher ambition than to be laying up treasures on earth, they turn away in shame; for holy truth is reproached. 2T 239.1"
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Both passages contrast earthly and heavenly treasures. Matthew 6:19-21 directly warns against accumulating earthly treasures, while EGW describes the angels' reaction to seeing believers prioritize earthly gain over generosity and compassion, thus implicitly advocating for laying up treasures in heaven.
"bless those who need to be blessed, who visit the widow and fatherless in their affliction, and who keep themselves unspotted from the world, it would be an evidence that their religion was genuine. Such would let their light so shine that others seeing their good works would be led to glorify their Father which is in heaven. This fruit would be unto holiness, and they would be living representatives of Christ upon the earth. Sinners would be convicted that there is in the truth a power to which they are strangers. Those who profess to be waiting and watching for the appearing of their Lord should not disgrace their profession by bantering in deal and standing for the last penny. Such fruit does not grow upon the Christian tree. 2T 239.2"
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
EGW directly quotes the phrase "let their light so shine that others seeing their good works would be led to glorify their Father which is in heaven," which is a clear and direct allusion to Matthew 5:16.
