What does the Bible say about who will enter the kingdom of heaven?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that not everyone who calls Jesus 'Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of the Father.

In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus states that not everyone who says to Him 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven. This underscores the distinction between mere verbal acknowledgment of Christ and true faith expressed through obedience to God's will. Those who think their religious works can earn them salvation are mistaken. Jesus clarifies that genuine entrance into the kingdom is contingent upon doing the will of the Father, highlighting the importance of authentic faith and relationship over religious performance.
