"Satan in heaven had hated Christ for His position in the courts of God. He hated Him the more when he himself was dethroned. He hated Him who pledged Himself to redeem a race of sinners. Yet into the world where Satan claimed dominion God permitted His Son to come, a helpless babe, subject to the weakness of humanity. He permitted Him to meet life's peril in common with every human soul, to fight the battle as every child of humanity must fight it, at the risk of failure and eternal loss. DA 49.1"
"But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:"
Both passages discuss Christ taking on the form of a servant/humanity. The EGW passage expands on the implications of this act, particularly in the context of Satan's opposition.
"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;"
Both passages discuss Jesus taking on flesh and blood. The EGW passage emphasizes the vulnerability and risk involved, while Hebrews focuses on the purpose of destroying the devil.
"the thought of life's peril. He longs to shield his dear one from Satan's power, to hold him back from temptation and conflict. To meet a bitterer conflict and a more fearful risk, God gave His only-begotten Son, that the path of life might be made sure for our little ones. “Herein is love.” Wonder, O heavens! and be astonished, O earth! DA 49.2"
"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."
The EGW passage directly alludes to the core message of John 3:16, emphasizing God's love in giving His Son. While not a direct quote, the concept is central and explicitly referenced, making it a direct principle.
