Hey Meg

Kind of, I think. However, not so much that I become a great law keeper (even though this will certainly result) but so that I become a great Christ lover. That is, a lover of Christ irrespective of the consequences, a lover of Christ because of who He is objectively. Pefect law keeping, then, does not become my goal in sanctification (because it is only a consequence), but growing in love Christ does.

Would you call this sanctification by faith?

For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind, and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which sound was such that those who heard begged that no further word be spoken to them. For they could not bear the command, "IF EVEN A BEAST TOUCHES THE MOUNTAIN, IT WILL BE STONED." And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, "I AM FULL OF FEAR and trembling." But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. Hebrews 12:18-24
