"Jacob had received the blessing for which his soul had longed. His sin as a supplanter and deceiver had been pardoned. The crisis in his life was past. Doubt, perplexity, and remorse had embittered his existence, but now all was changed; and sweet was the peace of reconciliation with God. Jacob no longer feared to meet his brother. God, who had forgiven his sin, could move the heart of Esau also to accept his humiliation and repentance. PP 198.1"
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:"
The EGW passage describes Jacob's reconciliation with God and the resulting peace. Romans 5:1 speaks of peace with God through justification by faith. While not a direct quote or explicit allusion, the theme of reconciliation and peace with God connects the two passages.
"At sight of that crippled sufferer, “Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.” As they looked upon the scene, even the hearts of Esau's rude soldiers were touched. Notwithstanding he had told them of his dream, they could not account for the change that had come over their captain. Though they beheld the patriarch's infirmity, they little thought that this his weakness had been made his strength. PP 198.4"
"And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept."
EGW directly quotes Genesis 33:4, making it a clear explicit allusion.
"from Him against whom he had so grievously sinned. Helpless and unworthy, he pleaded God's promise of mercy to the repentant sinner. That promise was his assurance that God would pardon and accept him. Sooner might heaven and earth pass than that word could fail; and it was this that sustained him through that fearful conflict. PP 198.5"
"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)"
Both passages emphasize holding onto God's promises and faithfulness, even in the face of difficulty. Jacob's reliance on God's promise of mercy parallels the encouragement in Hebrews to hold fast to faith because God is faithful to His promises.
