Ah, your answer reminds me of the person who was stuck on the roof of house during a flood. This person prayed that the Lord would save them. God sent a helicopter and a boat. In the end the person drowned. When the person faced God, they asked why didn’t He saved them? God responded, “I sent a helicopter and a boat and you turned them down. So, better to say, I believe and receive Him, than to do NOTHING!
Except you are not stuck on a roof during a flood. Rather, you are dead in trespasses and sin. Dead people do not grab onto ropes. Spiritually speaking, dead people don't respond to grace unless they are first made alive, like Lazarus in the tomb.
God doesn't just pass down a rope and hope we grab on. He doesn't hope we will see it or hope we will have enough strength to hold on. He knows we are dead and incapable of such a gesture.
God reaches down with His own hand and snatches us from destruction. He breathes life into His own and makes them able to have faith and believe. He calls His own by name.
"And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand." (John 10:28,29)
