"May God help you all to make earnest efforts to gain everlasting life and to lead others in the path of holiness. 3T 544.1"
"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:"
Both passages emphasize holiness as a necessary condition for seeing God or gaining everlasting life. EGW's call to lead others in the path of holiness amplifies the concept.
"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."
Both passages connect effort with attaining eternal life. EGW speaks of 'earnest efforts to gain everlasting life,' while 1 Timothy 6:12 speaks of fighting the good fight of faith and laying hold on eternal life. The theme of striving for eternal life is present in both.

You are as much intoxicated with the love of money as is the inebriate with his liquor. 3T 544.2 Jesus has pleaded that the unfruitful tree might be spared a little longer; and I make one more plea for you to put forth no faint effort, but a most earnest one, for the kingdom. Rescue yourself from the snare of Satan before the word, “He is joined to idols, let him alone,” shall be spoken in regard to you in heaven. All money lovers, like yourself, will one day cry in bitter anguish: “Oh, the deceitfulness of riches! I have sold my soul for money.” Your only hope now is to make no feeble move, but to turn square about. Resolutely call to your aid the wi…
"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."
EGW directly addresses the issue of serving 'mammon' and contrasts it with serving God, which is the core principle of Matthew 6:24. The warning against the love of money and its consequences is a clear application of the biblical principle.
