"The very simplest modes of work should be devised and set in operation among the churches. If the members will unitedly accept such plans, and perseveringly carry them out, they will reap a rich reward; for their experience will grow brighter, their ability will increase, and through their efforts souls will be saved. 6T 433.2 The Uneducated to be Workers Let none feel that because they are uneducated they cannot take part in the Lord's work. God has a work for you to do. He has given to every man his work. You can search the Scriptures for yourselves. “The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalm 119:130 . You can pray for the work. The prayer of the sincere heart, offered in faith, will be heard in heaven. And you are to work according to your ability. 6T 433"
"The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple."
Ellen White directly references Psalms 119:130 in this passage.
"Everyone has an influence for good or for evil. If the soul is sanctified to the service of God and devoted to the work of Christ, the influence will tend to gather with Christ. 6T 433.4"
"He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad."
The EGW passage directly echoes the sentiment of Matthew 12:30, using the phrase 'gather with Christ' in a way that clearly alludes to the biblical verse. The context of influence for good or evil aligns with the idea of either gathering with Christ or scattering abroad.
"All heaven is in activity, and the angels of God are waiting to co-operate with all who will devise plans whereby souls for whom Christ died may hear the glad tidings of salvation. Angels who minister to those that shall be heirs of salvation, are saying to every true saint: “There is work for you to do.” “Go, stand and speak ... to the people all the words of this life.” Acts 5:20 . If those addressed would obey this injunction, the Lord would prepare the way before them, putting them in possession of means wherewith to go. 6T 433.5"
"Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life."
Ellen White directly references Acts 5:20 in this passage.
"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"
The EGW passage explicitly quotes Acts 5:20 and alludes to Hebrews 1:14. The reference to angels ministering to heirs of salvation directly connects to Hebrews 1:14, making it more than just a direct principle.
