"A great work is to be accomplished in setting before men the saving truths of the gospel. This is the means ordained by God to stem the tide of moral corruption. This is His means of restoring His moral image in man. It is His remedy for universal disorganization. It is the power that draws men together in unity. To present these truths is the work of the third angel's message. The Lord designs that the presentation of this message shall be the highest, greatest work carried on in the world at this time. 6T 11.1"
Likely biblical basis 95% Matthew 28:19-20
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
EGW's statement about the great work of sharing saving truths aligns with the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20, which commands believers to teach and baptize all nations.
"Satan is constantly urging men to accept his principles. Thus he seeks to counterwork the work of God. He is constantly representing the chosen people of God as a deluded people. He is an accuser of the brethren, and his accusing power he is constantly using against those who work righteousness. The Lord desires through His people to answer Satan's charges by showing the result of obedience to right principles. 6T 11.2"
Direct citation 95% Revelation 12:10
"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."
EGW directly refers to Satan as 'an accuser of the brethren,' which is a clear allusion to Revelation 12:10.
"agencies in the fulfillment of God's great purpose for the human race. 6T 11.3"
Related principle 70% Ephesians 2:10
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."
Both passages touch on the idea that humans are instruments or agents in God's plan. The EGW passage is very general, while the Ephesians verse is more specific about being created for good works. The connection is present, but not strong.
"God's people are to be channels for the outworking of the highest influence in the universe. In Zechariah's vision the two olive trees which stand before God are represented as emptying the golden oil out of themselves through golden tubes into the bowl of the sanctuary. From this the lamps of the sanctuary are fed, that they may give a continuous bright and shining light. So from the anointed ones that stand in God's presence the fullness of divine light and love and power is imparted to His people, that they may impart to others light and joy and refreshing. They are to become channels through which divine instrumentalities communicate to the world the tide of God's love. 6T 11.4"
Related principle 90% John 7:38
"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
Both passages describe believers as channels through which God's grace and power flow to others. The EGW passage uses the imagery of olive trees and golden oil, while the John verse uses the imagery of rivers of living water. The core concept of believers being conduits of divine blessing is shared.
