"Before his conversion Paul had regarded himself as blameless “touching the righteousness which is in the law.” Philippians 3:6 . But since his change of heart he had gained a clear conception of the mission of the Saviour as the Redeemer of the entire race, Gentile as well as Jew, and had learned the difference between a living faith and a dead formalism. In the light of the gospel the ancient rites and ceremonies committed to Israel had gained a new and deeper significance. That which they shadowed forth had come to pass, and those who were living under the gospel dispensation had been freed from their observance. God's unchangeable law of Ten Commandments, however, Paul still kept in spirit as well as in letter. AA 190.1"
"Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless."
EGW directly quotes Philippians 3:6.
"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."
Both passages discuss justification and the role of the law, although EGW focuses on the shift in Paul's understanding after his conversion, while Galatians 2:16 directly contrasts justification by faith versus works of the law. The connection is thematic and relevant.
"was to cease until a final decision should be given in general council. This decision was then to be universally accepted by the different churches throughout the country. AA 190.2"
"And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter."
Both passages refer to a council or meeting to make a decision. EGW elaborates on the expected acceptance of the decision, which is implied but not explicitly stated in Acts 15:6. The connection is valid.
"On the way to Jerusalem the apostles visited the believers in the cities through which they passed, and encouraged them by relating their experience in the work of God and the conversion of the Gentiles. AA 190.3"
"And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them."
Both passages describe the apostles visiting believers and sharing their experiences, particularly regarding the conversion of Gentiles. The connection is clear and relevant.
