Romans 8:14

Paul wrote to the Galatians that the law leads people to Christ (Galatians 3:24). The Holy Spirit does this too (John 16:8-11). Having come to Christ the Holy Spirit continues to lead us in the moral will of God. The Holy Spirit leads every true child of God (Galatians 5:18). He goes before us and expects us to follow Him, as a shepherd does his sheep. However we can choose to follow or not follow Him, to walk according to the Spirit or to walk according to the flesh (Romans 8:13). The Spirit leads us objectively through the Scriptures and subjectively by His internal promptings (John 20:31; Romans 8:16; Galatians 4:6; 1 John 3:24; 1 John 5:13). [Note: See Bernard Ramm, The Witness of the Spirit.] Another view is that to be "led by the Spirit" here, and in Galatians 5:18, means that the Spirit determines the direction of one’s life as a whole rather than that He guides us. [Note: E.g., Moo, p. 498.]

"There is deep mystery, no doubt, in the great double fact of [sic] God is working in us to will, and on the other hand, of our choosing His will, moment by moment. We can only affirm that both are taught in Scripture . . ." [Note: Newell, p. 310.]
