"Christ. Humanity has no power to regenerate itself. It does not tend upward, toward the divine, but downward, toward the satanic. Christ is our only hope. “There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” “Neither is there salvation in any other.” Acts 4:12 . PP 73.1"
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
Ellen White directly references Acts 4:12 in this passage.
"True faith, which relies wholly upon Christ, will be manifested by obedience to all the requirements of God. From Adam's day to the present time the great controversy has been concerning obedience to God's law. In all ages there have been those who claimed a right to the favor of God even while they were disregarding some of His commands. But the Scriptures declare that by works is “faith made perfect;” and that, without the works of obedience, faith “is dead.” James 2:22, 17 . He that professes to know God, “and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” 1 John 2:4 . PP 73.2"
"He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."
Ellen White directly references 1 John 2:4 in this passage.
"When Cain saw that his offering was rejected, he was angry with the Lord and with Abel; he was angry that God did not accept man's substitute in place of the sacrifice divinely ordained, and angry with his brother for choosing to obey God instead of joining in rebellion against Him. Notwithstanding Cain's disregard of the divine command, God did not leave him to himself; but He condescended to reason with the man who had shown himself so unreasonable. And the Lord said unto Cain, “Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?” Through an angel messenger the divine warning was conveyed: “If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.” The choice lay with Cain himself. If he would trust to the merits of the promised Saviour, and would obey God's requirements, he would enjoy His favor. But should he persist in unbelief and transgression, he would have no ground for complaint because he was rejected by the Lord. PP 73.3"
"And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?"
The EGW passage directly quotes Genesis 4:6, making it a clear explicit allusion.
"But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell."
The EGW passage refers directly to the events described in Genesis 4:5, and elaborates on the context and emotions involved. It's a direct reference and expansion.
