We can never discount the essential role of the Holy Spirit in our salvation.
At times we become confused by the focus on the 'sensational' works of the Spirit, and forget his vital role in salvation.
The Spirit's role is summed up by one person who wrote,
"Nobody can benefit from the Christ’s work unless he is united with him. And the concrete link of this union is none other than the Holy Spirit. ... it is because the Spirit operates on believers that they are truly involved in the saving work of the mediator."
God applies the Son's saving work through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Never stop looking to God for his Spirit to help you grow in the knowledge and assurance of faith.
