Now the same thing cannot be said about the Spirit's work or our response to His work. His work is in no sense substitutionary, as was Christ's work on the cross. But an inadequate doctrine of justification to life eternal by substitution, representation and imputation through passive acceptance, causes the deadly error of passive sanctification. The Bible teaches that faith is the gift of the Holy Spirit and that good works are the fruit of the Spirit's working. But the Bible does not teach that the Holy Spirit does the believing and good works for us.
Faith is a meaningful human activity.
It is the human agent who does the believing. The same thing is true about the works which spring from faith. While the Holy Spirit imparts the righteous attributes of God to the soul and then inspires, motivates and empowers the believer to a life of good works, He is generally not represented to us as the One who does the acts of righteousness. And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He hath commanded us. Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
