"Chapter 38—The Importance of Seeking True Knowledge More clearly than we do we need to understand the issues at stake in the great conflict in which we are engaged. We need to understand more fully the value of the truths of the word of God and the danger of allowing our minds to be diverted from them by the great deceiver. MH 451"
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
Both passages discuss the importance of vigilance against the devil and his deceptive influence. While not a direct quote, the theme aligns strongly.
"The infinite value of the sacrifice required for our redemption reveals the fact that sin is a tremendous evil. Through sin the whole human organism is deranged, the mind is perverted, the imagination corrupted. Sin has degraded the faculties of the soul. Temptations from without find an answering chord within the heart, and the feet turn imperceptibly toward evil. MH 451.2"
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
EGW's statement about sin's impact on humanity directly reflects the principle that all have sinned, as stated in Romans 3:23.
"As the sacrifice in our behalf was complete, so our restoration from the defilement of sin is to be complete. No act of wickedness will the law of God excuse; no unrighteousness can escape its condemnation. The ethics of the gospel acknowledge no standard but the perfection of the divine character. The life of Christ was a perfect fulfillment of every precept of the law. He said, “I have kept My Father's commandments.” His life is our example of obedience and service. God alone can renew the heart. “It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.” But we are bidden, “Work out your own salvation.” John 15:10 ; Philippians 2:13, 12 . MH 451.3"
"For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."
EGW directly quotes Philippians 2:13.
"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love."
Ellen White directly references John 15:10 in this passage.
"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."
Both passages discuss the nature of sin as transgression of the law. EGW's statement that no act of wickedness will the law of God excuse is a direct reflection of the principle in 1 John 3:4.
