Each and every time, it was God that called, summoned, initiated, chose and appealed to. He does the choosing, and that makes our "choice" a very small detail in the scheme of things. Once we are approached by the Hound of Heaven, there is not much else we can do (though I do believe one can reject His goodness -- I find that it's difficult).
No one can even come to Him, unless the Spirit draws them.

If the doctrine of the penal substitutionary atonement is correct - Christ made a complete payment for our sins wouldn't rejection of his goodness be included in the atoned for sins?
