"...If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead." - Luke 16 V31 

"He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." - John 1 V11, 12

Those who choose not to believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, do it of their own will. Those who harden their hearts will not be persuaded even when the strongest evidence is presented to them. Hence the Bible teaches, to them that believe in the name of Jesus, God receives them and gives the right to become the children of God. We walk by faith and not by sight. Praise the Lord!
