"freezing accents will burn in your heart; the truth will not then languish upon your tongues.... CT 360.1"
"Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay."
Both passages describe an inner compulsion to speak God's word, likened to a burning fire. The EGW passage uses similar imagery of 'burning in your heart' when one is compelled to speak truth.
"Teachers, trust in God and go forward. “My grace is sufficient for thee” ( 2 Corinthians 12:9 ), is the assurance of the Great Teacher. Catch the inspiration of the words, and never, never talk doubt and unbelief. Be energetic. There is no half-and-half service in pure and undefiled religion. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.” Mark 12:30 . The very highest sanctified ambition is demanded of those who believe the word of God. CT 360.2"
"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment."
The EGW passage directly quotes Mark 12:30 and references 2 Corinthians 12:9.
"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
Ellen White directly references 2 Corinthians 12:9 in this passage.
"Tell your students that the Lord Jesus has made every provision that they should go onward, conquering and to conquer. Lead them to trust in the divine promise, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” James 1:5 .... CT 360.3"
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
Ellen White directly references James 1:5 in this passage.
"From God, the fountain of wisdom, proceeds all the knowledge that is of value to man, all that the intellect can grasp or retain. The fruit of the tree representing good and evil is not to be eagerly plucked because it is recommended by one who was once a bright angel in glory. He has said that if men eat thereof, they shall know good and evil; but let it alone. The true knowledge comes not from infidels or wicked men. The word of God is light and truth. The true light shines from Jesus Christ, who “lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” John 1:9 . From the Holy Spirit proceeds divine knowledge. He knows what humanity needs to promote peace, happiness, and restfulness here in this world, and to secure eternal rest in the kingdom of God.— Special Testimonies On Education, 26-31 ; written from Cooranbong, N.S.W., Australia, June 12, 1896. CT 360.4"
"That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."
Ellen White directly references John 1:9 in this passage.
