"fire.” 1 Corinthians 3:14, 15 . The Christian who faithfully presents the word of life, leading men and women into the way of holiness and peace, is bringing to the foundation material that will endure, and in the kingdom of God he will be honored as a wise builder. AA 599.1"
"If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward."
The EGW passage directly interprets and applies the principle of building on a foundation that will endure the 'fire' mentioned in 1 Corinthians 3:14-15, connecting it to faithful Christian work.
"According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon."
Both passages discuss the idea of building upon a foundation, with Christ as the foundation. The EGW quote expands on the concept of being a 'wise builder' introduced in 1 Corinthians 3:10.
"Of the apostles it is written, “They went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.” Mark 16:20 . As Christ sent forth His disciples, so today He sends forth the members of His church. The same power that the apostles had is for them. If they will make God their strength, He will work with them, and they shall not labor in vain. Let them realize that the work in which they are engaged is one upon which the Lord has placed His signet. God said to Jeremiah, “Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee.” Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched His servant's mouth, saying, “Behold, I have put My words in thy mouth.” Jeremiah 1:7-9 . And He bids us go forth to speak the words He gives us, feeling His holy touch upon our lips. AA 599.2"
"And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen."
Ellen White directly references Mark 16:20 in this passage.
"But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth."
Ellen White directly references Jeremiah 1:7-9 in this passage.
