God does all the work, all anyone has to do is to simply not resist Him but receive. Jesus came unto His own but they would not receive Him...."ye do always resist the Holy Spirit." People can chooe to resist Him. Mankind was made in the image of God....that means for one thing that man is capable of exercising his will.
God does all the work is correct. Man does none of it. But, you just said two contradicting phrases. If God does all the work, man cannot excercise his own will. That is Freewill theology. Man is incapable of saving himself and choosing when God will save him. God has sovereign control over all aspects of your salvation. You have none.

It is not given to all, because not all are willing to receive it, that's all. It is not the kind of gift that can be forced on someone against their will. The door is open to "whosoever will". A humble and contrite heart He will not turn away. God is not a respecter of persons, and He doesn't violate His own righteousness as to force Himself on anyone. Even the church is admonished not to exercise authority (force) on anyone like the world does. We need to understand the spiritual language of scripture in spirit, because it is spiritual language speaking in spirit.
Its not given to all because all arent Christs/abrahams Seed

Salvation is given only to a seed,not all mankind, Rom 4:16

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

He came for the help of the seed of abraham, not all mankind Heb 2:16

16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. NKJV
