"We are called to represent to the world the character of God as it was revealed to Moses. In answer to the prayer of Moses, “Show me Thy glory,” the Lord promised, “I will make all My goodness pass before thee.” “And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long- suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin.” Exodus 33:18, 19 ; 34:6, 7 . This is the fruit that God desires from His people. In the purity of their characters, in the holiness of their lives, in their mercy and loving-kindness and compassion, they are to demonstrate that the “law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.” Psalm 19:7 . 6T 221.1"
"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple."
Ellen White directly references Psalms 19:7 in this passage.
"Christ was their instructor. As He was with them in the wilderness, so after their establishment in the Promised Land He was still their Teacher and Guide. In the tabernacle and the temple His glory dwelt in the holy Shekinah above the mercy seat. In their behalf He constantly manifested the riches of His love and patience. 6T 221.3"
"Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle."
Both passages refer to God's presence and guidance for the Israelites, particularly through the Shekinah glory in the tabernacle, connecting Christ's role as instructor with God's presence in the Old Testament.
"God desired to make of His people Israel a praise and a glory. Every spiritual advantage was given them. God withheld from them nothing favorable to the formation of character that would make them representatives of Himself. 6T 221.4"
"And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken."
Both passages express God's desire for Israel to be a people of praise and glory, representing Him to other nations. The idea of spiritual advantage and formation of character in EGW's writing aligns with Deuteronomy's emphasis on holiness and honor.
