"robe of Christ's righteousness. This is our only opportunity to form characters for the home which Christ has made ready for those who obey His commandments. COL 319.1"
"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."
Both passages discuss putting on Christ, although Romans 13:14 is more direct about it. EGW's reference to the 'robe of Christ's righteousness' is a clear echo of the concept of being clothed in Christ, which aligns with the idea of putting on Christ in Romans.
"I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels."
Both passages speak of being clothed in righteousness. Isaiah 61:10 speaks of being clothed with the 'robe of righteousness,' while the EGW passage refers to the 'robe of Christ's righteousness.' The connection is clear and meaningful.
"In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
Both passages refer to a home or place prepared by Christ. John 14:2-3 speaks of Christ preparing a place in His Father's house, while the EGW passage mentions Christ preparing a home for those who obey His commandments. The theme of a heavenly dwelling prepared by Christ connects the two.
"And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Both passages deal with the idea of being properly prepared (clothed) for acceptance by God/the King. EGW's reference to the 'robe of Christ's righteousness' directly relates to the wedding garment in Matthew 22.
"The days of our probation are fast closing. The end is near. To us the warning is given, “Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.” Luke 21:34 . Beware lest it find you unready. Take heed lest you be found at the King's feast without a wedding garment. COL 319.2"
"And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares."
EGW directly quotes Luke 21:34.
"And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:"
EGW explicitly connects being found at the King's feast without a wedding garment to the parable in Matthew 22:11, making this a clear thematic parallel.
"“In such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” “Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Matthew 24:44 ; Revelation 16:15 . COL 319.3"
"Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."
EGW directly quotes Matthew 24:44.
"Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."
EGW directly quotes Revelation 16:15.
