"He who has a knowledge of God and His word through personal experience has a settled faith in the divinity of the Holy Scriptures. He has proved that God's word is truth, and he knows that truth can never contradict itself. He does not test the Bible by men's ideas of science; he brings these ideas to the test of the unerring standard. He knows that in true science there can be nothing contrary to the teaching of the word; since both have the same Author, a correct understanding of both will prove them to be in harmony. Whatever in so-called scientific teaching contradicts the testimony of God's word is mere human guesswork. MH 462.1"
"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
The EGW passage directly quotes and expands upon the idea that God's word is truth, as stated in John 17:17.
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
Both passages emphasize the divine inspiration and value of Scripture. EGW's statement about the divinity of the Holy Scriptures and their role as an unerring standard aligns with 2 Timothy 3:16's assertion that all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable.
"To such a student, scientific research will open vast fields of thought and information. As he contemplates the things of nature, a new perception of truth comes to him. The book of nature and the written word shed light upon each other. Both make him better acquainted with God by teaching him of His character and of the laws through which He works. MH 462.2"
"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge."
Both passages highlight the connection between nature and God's revelation. EGW speaks of the book of nature and the written word shedding light on each other, while Psalm 19:1-2 describes the heavens declaring God's glory.
"The experience of the psalmist is the experience that all may gain by receiving God's word through nature and through revelation. He says: MH 462.3"
"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork."
The EGW passage directly references the experience of the psalmist and then immediately quotes Psalm 19:1. This is a clear and direct allusion.
