"Adam and Eve fell through intemperate appetite. Christ came and withstood the fiercest temptation of Satan and, in behalf of the race, overcame appetite, showing that man may overcome. As Adam fell through appetite and lost blissful Eden, the children of Adam may, through Christ, overcome appetite and through temperance in all things regain Eden. 3T 161.3"
"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."
The EGW passage directly references the Genesis account of Adam and Eve's fall through appetite, contrasting it with Christ's victory over temptation and the possibility of regaining Eden through temperance. This is a clear and intentional allusion.
