Remember the disciples who walked with Jesus for a while, learning as He taught them ?
Most of them left Him, and He did not try to get them to stay, nor did He go after them.
People who don't want to pay the price, to endure the suffering required, to give up the carnal fleshly defiled life , don't. Neither Jesus nor YHWH coerces them at all to do what is necessary and right for their life - their free will , when they have it, is not taken away until YHWH gives them up , if that time comes, to believe their own delusions.
People today who learn they have to have a total life change, may stop following Jesus. Most people do give up or never even start in the first place.... That's exactly what God says.
