"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
The EGW passage speaks of 'ruin' which is a direct consequence of sin, as stated in Romans 6:23. The verse explicitly states that the 'wages of sin is death,' which leads to ruin.
"Study God's word prayerfully. That word presents before you, in the law of God and the life of Christ, the great principles of holiness, without which “no man shall see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14 . It convinces of sin; it plainly reveals the way of salvation. Give heed to it as the voice of God speaking to your soul. SC 35.2"
"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:"
Ellen White directly references Hebrews 12:14 in this passage.
"As you see the enormity of sin, as you see yourself as you really are, do not give up to despair. It was sinners that Christ came to save. We have not to reconcile God to us, but—O wondrous love!—God in Christ is “reconciling the world unto Himself.” 2 Corinthians 5:19 . He is wooing by His tender love the hearts of His erring children. No earthly parent could be as patient with the faults and mistakes of his children, as is God with those He seeks to save. No one could plead more tenderly with the transgressor. No human lips ever poured out more tender entreaties to the wanderer than does He. All His promises, His warnings, are but the breathing of unutterable love. SC 35.3"
"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."
Ellen White directly references 2 Corinthians 5:19 in this passage.
