"But the influence of a gospel hope will not lead the sinner to look upon the salvation of Christ as a matter of free grace, while he continues to live in transgression of the law of God. When the light of truth dawns upon his mind and he fully understands the requirements of God and realizes the extent of his transgressions, he will reform his ways, become loyal to God through the strength obtained from his Saviour, and lead a new and purer life. 4T 295.1"
"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."
Both passages discuss the idea of a transformed life following conversion. Romans 6:4 speaks of 'newness of life' after baptism, while EGW speaks of reforming ways and leading a 'new and purer life.' The theme of transformation is present in both.
"While in Salem I formed the acquaintance of Brother and Sister Donaldson, who desired that their daughter should return to Battle Creek with us and attend the college. Her health was poor, and it was quite a struggle for them to part with her, their only daughter, but the spiritual advantages she would there receive induced them to make the sacrifice. And we are happy to here state that at the recent camp meeting in Battle Creek this dear child was buried with Christ in baptism. Here is another proof of the importance of Seventh-day Adventists’ sending their children to our school, where they can be brought directly under a saving influence. 4T 295.2"
"And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life."
Both passages touch on the theme of sacrifice for spiritual gain. Matthew 19:29 speaks of forsaking family for Christ's sake, while EGW describes the Donaldson's sacrifice of parting with their daughter for her spiritual benefit. The parallel is thematic, not direct, as the specific sacrifices differ.
"Our voyage from Oregon was rough, but I was not so sick as on my former passage. This boat, the “Idaho,” did not pitch, but rolled. We were treated very kindly on the boat. We made many pleasant acquaintances and distributed our publications to different ones, which led to profitable conversation. When we arrived at Oakland we found that the tent was pitched there and that quite a number had embraced the truth under the labors of Brother Healey. We spoke several times under the tent. Sabbath and first day the churches of San Francisco and Oakland met together, and we had interesting and profitable meetings. 4T 295.3"
"And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them."
Both passages describe journeys undertaken for the purpose of spreading the gospel. Acts 16:10 describes Paul's journey to Macedonia after receiving a vision, while EGW describes her voyage and subsequent ministry in Oakland. The parallel lies in the missionary journeys and the purpose behind them.
