6:29. Jesus' response to their question was a flat contradiction of their thinking. They could not please God by doing good works. There is only one work of God, that is, one thing God requires. They need to put their trust(Faith)- in the One the Father has sent.Because of their sin people cannot please God by doing good works for salvation (Ep 2:8-9; Tit 3:5). God demands that people recognize their inability to save themselves and receive His gift (Ro 6:23).

All souls belong to God. He is the author and giver and sustainer of life. This is not to say that all are
His children. Obviously all are not His children. Some are children of wrath, those who have refused
God's offer of salvation through the forgiveness Christ's shed righteous blood provided for all.
Those who believe by grace through faith have the right to call themselves God's children.
God is drawing all men to Him. Those who resist do so because they love their sin.
Romans 8:15-16

You got that from that verse? It says nothing like that. The question was a simple one and the answer was direct.
The verse says that to truly believe is only given to someone from a work of God's.
You've added to it in a way that it can't support to try to force it into saying what you want it to say.

I will never agree with those who say, if you receive a gift, it is then no longer a gift because you accepted it.
And that if you receive/accept/stop fighting against God's grace, you nullify His grace.
In fact, such a position is pure nonsense.
And non-Biblical.
God draws us with loving kindness and He WANTS us to respond.
