"The earth was dark through misapprehension of God. That the gloomy shadows might be lightened, that the world might be brought back to God, Satan's deceptive power was to be broken. This could not be done by force. The exercise of force is contrary to the principles of God's government; He desires only the service of love; and love cannot be commanded; it cannot be won by force or authority. Only by love is love awakened. To know God is to love Him; His character must be manifested in contrast to the character of Satan. This work only one Being in all the universe could do. Only He who knew the height and depth of the love of God could make it known. Upon the world's dark night the Sun of Righteousness must rise, “with healing in His wings.” Malachi 4:2 . DA 22.1"
"But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
Ellen White directly references Malachi 4:2 in this passage.
"The plan for our redemption was not an afterthought, a plan formulated after the fall of Adam. It was a revelation of “the mystery which hath been kept in silence through times eternal.” Romans 16:25 , R. V. It was an unfolding of the principles that from eternal ages have been the foundation of God's throne. From the beginning, God and Christ knew of the apostasy of Satan, and of the fall of man through the deceptive power of the apostate. God did not ordain that sin should exist, but He foresaw its existence, and made provision to meet the terrible emergency. So great was His love for the world, that He covenanted to give His only-begotten Son, “that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 . DA 22.2"
"Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,"
Ellen White directly references Romans 16:25 in this passage.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Ellen White directly references John 3:16 in this passage.
"Lucifer had said, “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; ... I will be like the Most High.” Isaiah 14:13, 14 . But Christ, “being in the form of God, counted it not a thing to be grasped to be on an equality with God, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.” Philippians 2:6, 7 , R. V., margin. DA 22.3"
"For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:"
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 14:13.
"I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 14:14.
"Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:"
EGW directly quotes and references Philippians 2:6.
"But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:"
EGW directly quotes and references Philippians 2:7.
"This was a voluntary sacrifice. Jesus might have remained at the Father's side. He might have retained the glory of heaven, and the homage of the angels. But He chose to give back the scepter into the Father's hands, and to step down from the throne of the universe, that He might bring light to the benighted, and life to the perishing. DA 22.4"
"And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."
Both passages discuss the glory Jesus had with the Father before the incarnation and his willingness to leave it.
"Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."
Both passages highlight Jesus' voluntary sacrifice and his purpose of serving and giving life.
