"Long has God waited for the spirit of service to take possession of the whole church so that everyone shall be working for Him according to his ability. When the members of the church of God do their appointed work in the needy fields at home and abroad, in fulfillment of the gospel commission, the whole world will soon be warned and the Lord Jesus will return to this earth with power and great glory. “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14 . AA 111.1"
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
EGW directly quotes Matthew 24:14 and connects it to the church's mission and the second coming.
"From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."
Both passages discuss the importance of every member of the body working together, each according to their ability, for the growth and edification of the whole. Ephesians 4:16 speaks to the interconnectedness and mutual support within the church, which aligns with EGW's call for every member to be actively involved in service.
