"The Highest Possible Development I do not wish anyone to receive from the words I have written the impression that the standard of education in our schools is to be in any way lowered. Every student should remember that the Lord requires him to make of himself all that is possible, that he may wisely teach others also. Our students should tax the mental powers; every faculty should reach the highest possible development. CT 393"
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
Both passages encourage striving for the highest possible development or perfection, aligning with a core principle of Christian living.
"cannot take up this study now. Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.” Thus God's great lesson book is set aside because it is not regarded as the one thing needful. CT 393.1"
"And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee."
EGW directly quotes and alludes to Felix's response in Acts 24:25, drawing a parallel between neglecting spiritual matters and postponing engagement with God's word.
