"The law of God, from its very nature, is unchangeable. It is a revelation of the will and the character of its Author. God is love, and His law is love. Its two great principles are love to God and love to man. “Love is the fulfilling of the law.” Romans 13:10 . The character of God is righteousness and truth; such is the nature of His law. Says the psalmist: “Thy law is the truth:” “all Thy commandments are righteousness.” Psalm 119:142, 172 . And the apostle Paul declares: “The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.” Romans 7:12 . Such a law, being an expression of the mind and will of God, must be as enduring as its Author. GC 467.1"
"Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."
Ellen White directly references Romans 13:10 in this passage.
"Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good."
Ellen White directly references Romans 7:12 in this passage.
"It is the work of conversion and sanctification to reconcile men to God by bringing them into accord with the principles of His law. In the beginning, man was created in the image of God. He was in perfect harmony with the nature and the law of God; the principles of righteousness were written upon his heart. But sin alienated him from his Maker. He no longer reflected the divine image. His heart was at war with the principles of God's law. “The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” Romans 8:7 . But “God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son,” that man might be reconciled to God. Through the merits of Christ he can be restored to harmony with his Maker. His heart must be renewed by divine grace; he must have a new life from above. This change is the new birth, without which, says Jesus, “he cannot see the kingdom of God.” GC 467.2"
"Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be."
Ellen White directly references Romans 8:7 in this passage.
"The first step in reconciliation to God is the conviction of sin. “Sin is the transgression of the law.” “By the law is the knowledge of sin.” 1 John 3:4 ; Romans 3:20 . In order to see his guilt, the sinner must test his character by God's great standard of righteousness. It is a mirror which shows the perfection of a righteous character and enables him to discern the defects in his own. GC 467.3"
"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."
Ellen White directly references 1 John 3:4 in this passage.
"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
Ellen White directly references Romans 3:20 in this passage.
"The law reveals to man his sins, but it provides no remedy. While it promises life to the obedient, it declares that death is the portion of the transgressor. The gospel of Christ alone can free him from the condemnation or the defilement of sin. He must exercise repentance toward God, whose law has been transgressed; and faith in Christ, his atoning sacrifice. Thus he obtains “remission of sins that are past” and becomes a partaker of the divine nature. He is a child of God, having received the spirit of adoption, whereby he cries: “Abba, Father!” GC 467.4"
"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
The EGW passage directly echoes the principle in Romans 3:20 that the law reveals sin but does not provide justification. The EGW passage expands on this by contrasting the law with the gospel.
"For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."
The EGW passage directly quotes and applies the concept of the 'spirit of adoption' and the phrase 'Abba, Father' from Romans 8:15.
"And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance."
Both passages discuss redemption from transgressions through Christ's sacrifice, leading to an inheritance/partaking of the divine nature. The connection is thematic, focusing on the redemptive work of Christ.
