How could they refuse to believe if he didn't come to them in the first place?

I don't understand your question. He spoke his Word to them, they did not listen, because they could not hear his Words and they could not hear his words because he did not come for them.

No, He spoke to them and they shut their ears.

They shut their ears because he did not come for them. "Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God"

Because you belong to God by hearing his words and following them.

Yes and jews cannot hear his Word, because they do not belong to God but to the devil.

Indeed. But it's not because of their race. It's because of their choices.

No, it is because Jesus did not come for them.

Luke 7, Luke 10, Matthew 15, Matthew 26

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me. 43Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message. 44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires.

The reason they cannot hear his Word, is because they belong to the devil. If God had been their Father, then they would hear his Word, but they do not hear his Word because they belong to the devil.

Because they chose that

No, where do you get that idea that it is because they chose it?

Jesus says that they don't hear because their father is not God but the devil. Where does he say that it is because they chose it?
