"The capacity for receiving the holy oil from the two olive trees is increased as the receiver empties that holy oil out of himself in word and action to supply the necessities of other souls. Work, precious, satisfying work— to be constantly receiving and constantly imparting. 6T 117.1"
"Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."
EGW's statement about freely receiving and freely giving directly echoes the principle outlined in Matthew 10:8, applying it to spiritual gifts and service.
"We need and must have fresh supplies every day. And how many souls we may help by communicating to them! All heaven is waiting for channels through which can be poured the holy oil, to be a joy and a blessing to others. I have no fear that any will make blundering work if they will only become one with Christ. If He is abiding with us, we shall work continuously and solidly, so that our work will abide. The divine fullness will flow through the consecrated human agent to be given forth to others. 6T 117.2"
"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."
EGW's description of needing fresh supplies every day and the divine fullness flowing through consecrated agents closely parallels the imagery of John 15:5, where Jesus describes himself as the vine and believers as branches, emphasizing the need to abide in Christ to bear fruit.
"117.3 ***** Women may take their places in the work at this crisis, and the Lord will work through them. If they are imbued with a sense of their duty, and labor under the influence of the Spirit of God, they will have just the self- possession required for this time. The Saviour will reflect upon these self-sacrificing women the light of His countenance, and this will give them a power which will exceed that of men. They can do in families a work that men cannot do, a work that reaches the inner life. They can come close to the hearts of those whom men cannot reach. Their labor is needed. 6T 117.4"
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
While not a direct quote, the EGW passage aligns with the spirit of Galatians 3:28 by emphasizing the equal value and contribution of women in the work of God, highlighting their unique abilities and roles. The passage promotes the idea that gender is not a barrier to service and that women have a vital role to play in ministry.
