If it was not a choice, then how would there be a mitzvah to believe that Moshiach will come?

How do you explain us being "commanded" to believe in Hashem as the first of the teen commandments?

The obligation to work on the belief. To find the answers you seek so that you can believe.

Yes. But it's not a choice. Choice would imply that not believing is equal to believing

Choice doesn’t mean that both are equal. We have choices all the time between right and wrong - does that make them equal?
