First of all, I just want to say that we can't know for 100% who is absolutely correct here because we are not God. I don't want you to think I am being prideful or condescending....
But, some have 'chosen' God and some have not.
What is in the ones who have chosen God that make them better equipped to respond than the ones who did not? Whatever it is, don't they then have room to boast?
I have more faith, I have more intelligence, I have more goodness, than you... etc???

John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
I cannot explain why some will not come to Christ. It makes no sense that someone would choose to remain in sin and perish for all of eternity. Yet if the Holy Spirit had not made it real to me that my sin would cause me to eternally condemned I too would have chosen to work my way to heaven being no worse than those around me with whom I was acquainted. You know the way that seems right to man but the end thereof is death.
For the cause of Christ
