"Above all lower orders of being, God designed that man, the crowning work of His creation, should express His thought and reveal His glory. But man is not to exalt himself as God. MH 415.3"
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
The EGW passage echoes the idea of man being created in God's image to reflect His glory, as described in Genesis 1:27. The second sentence provides a contrast to the first, which is not explicitly in Genesis 1:27, but is a common interpretation of the relationship between God and humanity.
"“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.... Serve the Lord with gladness: Come before His presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord He is God: It is He that hath made us, and His we are; We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise: Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.” “Exalt the Lord our God, And worship at His holy hill; For the Lord our God is holy.” Psalm 100:1-4 , margin; Psalm 99:9 . MH 415.4"
"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."
