What does the Bible say about who goes to heaven?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible states that not everyone who calls Jesus 'Lord' will enter heaven, but only those who do the will of the Father (Matthew 7:21).

In Matthew 7:21-23, the Lord Jesus makes it clear that mere profession of faith is not enough for salvation. He declares that not everyone who says to Him, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven; rather, it is those who do the will of His Father. This underscores the importance of genuine faith characterized by obedience to God's will, as opposed to empty claims of faith without corresponding action. Moreover, Jesus warns that many will claim their religious accomplishments, only to learn that He never knew them, reinforcing the necessity of true relationship with Him.
