"Jesus will be the helper of all who put their trust in Him. Those who are connected with Christ have happiness at their command. They follow the path where their Saviour leads, for His sake crucifying the flesh, with its affections and lusts. They have built their hopes on Christ, and the storms of earth are powerless to sweep them from the sure foundation. CT 225.2"
"And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts."
EGW's statement about 'crucifying the flesh, with its affections and lusts' is a direct echo of Galatians 5:24, which speaks of those who belong to Christ having crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. The language is nearly identical, indicating a clear connection.
"It rests with you, young men and women, to decide whether you will become trustworthy and faithful, ready and resolute to take your stand for the right under all circumstances. Do you desire to form correct habits? Then seek the company of those who are sound in morals, and whose aim tends to that which is good. The precious hours of probation are granted that you may remove every defect from the character, and this you should seek to do, not only that you may obtain the future life, but that you may be useful in this life. A good character is a capital of more value than gold or silver. It is unaffected by panics or failures, and in that day when earthly possessions shall be swept away, it will bring rich returns. Integrity, firmness, and perseverance are qualities that all should seek earnestly to cultivate; for they clothe the possessor with a power which is irresistible—a power which makes him strong to do good, strong to resist evil, strong to bear adversity. CT 225.3"
"A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold."
Both passages highlight the superior value of a good character (or name) compared to material wealth. Proverbs 22:1 explicitly states that a good name is preferable to riches, while EGW asserts that a good character is a more valuable capital than gold or silver.
