"Those who have the cause of God at heart and feel love for precious souls for whom Christ died, will not seek their own ease or pleasure. They will do as Christ has done. They will go forth “to seek and to save that which was lost.” He said: “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” 3T 49.1"
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."
EGW directly quotes Luke 19:10.
