Resisting God does nothing to change his ends, but it does a weaken or remove power from our efforts.
Gravity is a passive force, existing due to the mass of the object. Effort is an active force, exerted with intention and toward an end. Whenever effort works in alignment with gravity, the effort is magnified. Whenever it works against gravity, effort is diminished.
God's telos has ultimate gravity. Our effort cannot change his telos. Working against his telos weakens our effort but has no impact on how telos. Working for God's telos magnifies our effort beyond what our imaginations can think up.
The choice seems clear.
