"the Scriptures. They do not feel the importance of the truth for this time, and therefore the truth is not to them a living reality. If they would humble their souls before God; if they would walk according to the Scriptures, in all humility of mind, then they would have more distinct views of the Pattern which they should copy; but they fail to keep their eyes fixed upon the Author and Finisher of their faith. 5T 574.1"
"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
The EGW passage directly uses the phrase "Author and Finisher of their faith," which is a clear allusion to Hebrews 12:2. The context in EGW also aligns with the meaning in Hebrews, emphasizing the importance of looking to Jesus.
