"***** The commission given to the disciples is given also to us. Today, as then, a crucified and risen Saviour is to be uplifted before those who are without God and without hope in the world. The Lord calls for pastors, teachers, and evangelists. From door to door His servants are to proclaim the message of salvation. To every nation, kindred, tongue, and people the tidings of pardon through Christ are to be carried. Not with tame, lifeless utterances is the message to be given, but with clear, decided, stirring utterances. Hundreds are waiting for the warning to escape for their lives. The world needs to see in Christians an evidence of the power of Christianity. Not merely in a few places, but throughout the world, messages of mercy are needed. GW 29.1"
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"
EGW's passage directly reflects the Great Commission given in Matthew 28:19, applying it to her contemporary audience.
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
EGW's passage echoes the command in Mark 16:15 to preach the gospel to all the world.
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
EGW's passage reflects the principle of being witnesses to the world, as outlined in Acts 1:8.
"***** He who beholds the Saviour's matchless love will be elevated in thought, purified in heart, transformed in character. He will go forth to be a light to the world, to reflect in some degree this mysterious love. The more we contemplate the cross of Christ, the more fully shall we adopt the language of the apostle when he said, “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. [ Galatians 6:14 .] GW 29.2"
"But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."
The EGW passage directly quotes Galatians 6:14, making it an explicit allusion.
"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."
The EGW passage speaks of being a light to the world, which directly echoes Matthew 5:14. The connection is thematic, as the EGW passage describes how one becomes a light, while Matthew 5:14 states the fact.
"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
Both passages connect beholding the glory/love of God with transformation. However, the EGW passage focuses on the cross, while the Bible verse focuses on beholding the glory of the Lord. The connection is thematic, but not a direct allusion or principle.
