"The neglect of the light that God has given you has, in a degree, made you captive, subject to Satan's devices; therefore a door has been left open for him to gain access to you in other directions and make you a weak man. He sees that he has succeeded in blinding your eyes to the interests of your family by leading you to neglect the light which the Lord has given. Then Satan has beset you in another direction. He has excited your love of traffic, your love of gain; and thus your interest has been divided from the cause and work of God. The love of God and the truth is gradually becoming of less importance. Souls for whom Christ died are of less value to you than your temporal interests. If you continue to pursue this course, you will soon become jealous, sensitive, and envious, and will go away from the truth, as others have gone. 2T 627.1"
"Neither give place to the devil."
The EGW passage speaks of leaving a door open for Satan by neglecting God's light, which directly relates to the principle of not giving place to the devil in Ephesians 4:27. Both passages warn against providing opportunities for Satan's influence.
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
The EGW passage discusses the dangers of prioritizing worldly gain over spiritual matters and love for God. This aligns with the theme of 1 John 2:15, which warns against loving the world and its things, as it diminishes the love for the Father.
