It may also put sanctification into our hands....seems thats the same as Israel did
with the law...thinking they attained to righteousness by there efforts.
Romans 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Eliteism and perfectionism must not see they are led by pride rather than the Spirit...just like Israel.
amen Abiding!
a little look at the word "led", ie:
Galatians 5
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
agó: to lead, bring, carry

an intense word study shows its a little more than leading as in hoping someone follows!!! LOL.
