Every thing we do can only be done by the grace, mercy and strength that Jesus gives us.
As Pau wrote, our rightousness, goodworks etc are like used toilet paper.

I heard Smith Wigglesworth said when i don't have enough faith i reach up and get God's faith
ever since i heard that i thought to myself - forget my faith - i'm going to use God's faith from now on - one of the best decisions i ever made

Galatians 2:18, says if the Believers attempts to use their own ability, will power, strength, ect., they become a transgressor.

We all who are born-again choose Gods ways, but how do we enter into sanctification so that the Holy Spirit carries out the will and the doing of His good pleasure. (Phil. 2:13)

Its easy to answer that, of course Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith.

Out of 603,550 men who were readied for war that came out of Egypt under the power of God (Numbers 1:44-46), only two took their inheritance; Joshua (a type of Christ) and Caleb (a type of the body of Christ) (Matthew 7:14). There is only one message that changes the body of Christ into the image of Christ, and that is Jesus Christ and Him Crucified.
If the Believers Faith is placed exclusively in Christ and the Cross, i.e., The Finished Work, i.e., The Blood of Jesus, the Believer will enter into the Lord's rest that is carried out by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:2, Hebrews 4:1). This is the only way that the Holy Spirit will deliver the Believer into the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, so that the life of Christ is manifested through the Believer by the power of the Holy Spirit, both to will and to do of his good pleasure (Romans 6:3-5, Romans 8:2, 2 Cor. 4:11, Phil. 2:13). IT IS JESUS CHRIST LIFE THAT BRINGS VICTORY...NOT OURS. JESUS SAID, "YOU CAN DO NOTHING WITHOUT ME! EVERYTHING THAT MAN DOES DIES. EVERYTHING THAT JESUS DOES IS BLESSED AND LIVES AND HAS LIFE (Psalm 1:3)!
If the Believer does not understand this, all scriptures become enticing words to the flesh that will be attempted by the flesh to perform (Romans 8:2-3, 1 Cor. 2:4). The Believer now becomes a transgressor (Gal. 2:18).
The question is, "How much value do we place on the Offering of Christ?" Do we feel that the Cross is the answer to every question, the solution to every problem, the strength for every weakness, the life for every death, the salvation for every sin, and the health for every sickness? How you as a Believer look at the Cross, is how you value the Cross. This is very, very serious, so we should think about it very carefully.
