"The Knowledge That Works Transformation The knowledge of God as revealed in Christ is the knowledge that all who are saved must have. It is the knowledge that works transformation of character. This knowledge, received, will re-create the soul in the image of God. It will impart to the whole being a spiritual power that is divine. MH 425"
"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 discuss the transformative power of knowing God/Christ and being changed into His image. The EGW passage expands on the idea of transformation of character through knowledge of God, which aligns with the concept of being changed into the same image as the Lord in 2 Corinthians 3:18.
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
Both passages connect knowledge of God/Christ with salvation and eternal life. While not a direct quote, the EGW passage echoes the sentiment that knowing God as revealed in Christ is essential for salvation, which is the core message of John 17:3.
"“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.” 1 John 3:1 . MH 425.1"
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."
Ellen White directly references 1 John 3:1 in this passage.
"Neither hath the eye seen a God besides Thee, Who worketh for him that waiteth for Him.” Isaiah 64:4 , A.R.V. MH 425.2"
"For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him."
Ellen White directly references Isaiah 64:4 in this passage.
"“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.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 . MH 425.4"
"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."
EGW directly quotes 2 Corinthians 3:18, making this an explicit allusion.
