"In the truths of His word, God has given to men a revelation of Himself; and to all who accept them they are a shield against the deceptions of Satan. It is a neglect of these truths that has opened the door to the evils which are now becoming so widespread in the religious world. The nature and the importance of the law of God have been, to a great extent, lost sight of. A wrong conception of the character, the perpetuity, and the obligation of the divine law has led to errors in relation to conversion and sanctification, and has resulted in lowering the standard of piety in the church. Here is to be found the secret of the lack of the Spirit and power of God in the revivals of our time. GC 465.1"
"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
Both passages emphasize the importance of God's word in avoiding sin and deception. EGW expands on the consequences of neglecting God's word, while the Psalm focuses on internalizing it.
"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
Both passages connect truth and sanctification. EGW argues that neglecting the truths of God's word leads to a lower standard of piety, while John 17:17 states that sanctification comes through God's truth.
"Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word."
Both passages connect God's word with protection and security. Psalm 119:114 describes God as a shield, while EGW states that God's word is a shield against deception.
"“Affiliated to the dangers already named is the danger of underestimating the justice of God. The tendency of the modern pulpit is to strain out the divine justice from the divine benevolence, to sink benevolence into a sentiment rather than exalt it into a principle. The new theological prism puts asunder what God has joined together. Is the divine law a good or an evil? It is a good. Then justice is good; for it is a disposition to execute the law. From the habit of underrating the divine law and justice, the extent and demerit of human disobedience, men easily slide into the habit of underestimating the grace which has provided an atonement for sin.” Thus the gospel loses its value and importance in the minds of men, and soon they are ready practically to cast aside the Bible itself. GC 465.3"
"Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good."
EGW's passage directly echoes and expands upon the principle stated in Romans 7:12. Both affirm the goodness and holiness of God's law. EGW elaborates on the consequences of underrating divine justice.
"Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face."
The EGW passage discusses the separation of divine justice and benevolence. Psalm 89:14 states that justice and judgment are the habitation of God's throne, and mercy and truth go before His face. This is a strong thematic parallel, as both passages connect justice and mercy as essential attributes of God.
"But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things."
The EGW passage discusses the underestimation of God's justice. Romans 2:2 speaks of God's judgment according to truth. The connection is that both emphasize the importance of God's justice and judgment, making it a thematic parallel.
