"A Personal God Created Man In the creation of man was manifest the agency of a personal God. When God had made man in His image, the human form was perfect in all its arrangements, but it was without life. Then a personal, self-existing God breathed into that form the breath of life, and man became a living, breathing, intelligent being. All parts of the human organism were put in action. The heart, the arteries, the veins, the tongue, the hands, the feet, the senses, the perceptions of the mind—all began their work, and all were placed under law. Man became a living soul. Through Jesus Christ a personal God created man and endowed him with intelligence and power. 8T 264"
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
The EGW passage closely paraphrases and expands upon Genesis 2:7, focusing on the creation of man and the breath of life.
"Our substance was not hid from Him when we were made in secret. His eyes saw our substance, yet being imperfect; and in His book all our members were written, when as yet there were none of them. 8T 264.2"
"My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."
The EGW passage directly quotes and paraphrases Psalm 139:15-16, referencing the creation of man in secret and God's knowledge of our substance.
"His thought and reveal His glory. But man is not to exalt himself as God. 8T 264.3"
"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
While not a direct quote, the EGW passage echoes the sentiment of 1 Corinthians 10:31, emphasizing doing things to the glory of God. The second sentence is a contrast to the first, but the first sentence is the connection.
"“Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah.... Serve Jehovah with gladness: Come before His presence with singing. 8T 264.4"
"Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing."
The EGW passage directly quotes Psalm 100:2.
"“Know ye that Jehovah, He is God: It is He that hath made us, and we are His; We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. 8T 264.5"
"Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture."
EGW directly quotes Psalm 100:3.
"“Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at His holy hill; For Jehovah our God is holy.” Psalm 100:1-4 ; 99:9 , A.R.V. 8T 264.7"
"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."
Ellen White directly references Psalms 100:1-4 in this passage.
