The Bible teaches that not everyone will enter heaven; only those who do the will of the Father will be accepted.
In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus clearly states that not everyone who calls Him 'Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. He emphasizes that many who believe they are saved will be denied on the day of judgment because they did not do the will of the Father. This serves as a stern reminder that mere profession of faith is insufficient; rather, one must truly know Christ and be in Him. The narrow path that leads to life is traversed by few, while many will follow the broad way to destruction.
