"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
This is one of my favorite scriptures because it teaches me so much in one sentence.
I have often thought about those who think all they have to do to go to heaven is to just say they believe in Jesus, then go back to the status quo of their lives. This scripture makes it clear to me
that the verb "doeth" is the key to entering into the kingdom of heaven.
It doesn't matter what you say; it's what you DO.
