"If Christians were to act in concert, moving forward as one, under the direction of one Power, for the accomplishment of one purpose, they would move the world. 9T 221.1"
"And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common."
The EGW passage echoes the sentiment of unity and shared purpose found in Acts 4:32, where believers are described as being of one heart and soul. Both passages emphasize the power of collective action and shared goals.
"***** The principles that should actuate us as workers in God's cause are laid down by the apostle Paul. He says: “We are laborers together with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9 . “Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord , and not unto men.” Colossians 3:23 . And Peter exhorts the believers: “As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 4:10, 11 . 9T 221.2"
"For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building."
Ellen White directly references 1 Corinthians 3:9 in this passage.
"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;"
Ellen White directly references Colossians 3:23 in this passage.
"As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
EGW directly quotes 1 Peter 4:10-11 to support her point about how workers in God's cause should minister.
