"If the church will put on the robe of Christ's righteousness, withdrawing from all allegiance with the world, there is before her the dawn of a bright and glorious day. God's promise to her will stand fast forever. He will make her an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. Truth, passing by those who despise and reject it, will triumph. Although at times apparently retarded, its progress has never been checked. When the message of God meets with opposition, He gives it additional force, that it may exert greater influence. Endowed with divine energy, it will cut its way through the strongest barriers and triumph over every obstacle. AA 601.1"
Likely biblical basis 95% Romans 13:14
"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."
The EGW passage speaks of putting on 'the robe of Christ's righteousness,' which is a clear allusion to the concept of putting on the Lord Jesus Christ in Romans 13:14. Both passages emphasize the importance of righteousness and separation from worldly desires.
Related principle 90% Isaiah 60:1
"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee."
Both passages speak of the church's future glory and the rising of light/truth. Isaiah 60:1 is a prophecy of future glory, and EGW applies this concept to the church, suggesting a parallel between the two.
"What sustained the Son of God during His life of toil and sacrifice? He saw the results of the travail of His soul and was satisfied. Looking into eternity, He beheld the happiness of those who through His humiliation had received pardon and everlasting life. His ear caught the shout of the redeemed. He heard the ransomed ones singing the song of Moses and the Lamb. AA 601.2"
Direct citation 95% Isaiah 53:11
"He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities."
The EGW passage explicitly alludes to Isaiah 53:11, referencing the 'travail of his soul' and the satisfaction Christ finds in the salvation of others. It directly connects Christ's sacrifice to the joy of seeing the redeemed.
"We may have a vision of the future, the blessedness of heaven. In the Bible are revealed visions of the future glory, scenes pictured by the hand of God, and these are dear to His church. By faith we may stand on the threshold of the eternal city, and hear the gracious welcome given to those who in this life co-operate with Christ, regarding it as an honor to suffer for His sake. As the words are spoken, “Come, ye blessed of My Father,” they cast their crowns at the feet of the Redeemer, exclaiming, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. ... Honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” Matthew 25:34 ; Revelation 5:12, 13 . AA 601.3"
