Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
In this passage Jesus makes it clear that a person cannot enter the kingdom of heaven merely by saying with words, “Lord, Lord.” Words are not enough without real deeds and faith. Jesus says that being faithful to God means bearing good fruit through one’s actions and life. He also notes that entry into the kingdom of heaven is reserved for those who live according to God’s will, not for those who simply express faith with empty, boastful words.
