7:21 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.
7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
In Matthew 7:21, Jesus tells us that to get to heaven, we need to do the will of God. He warns us that many people are pretending to be Christians, but at Judgement Day, they will find out that though they may have deceived people, they didn't fool God. Don't be fooled by the false prophets. Follow God's Law and God's Commandments.
Jesus tells us how to get into heaven: listen to His teachings, and do them. This is like building a house on rock (Matthew 7:24-25). If you don't do what Jesus Christ told you to do, that is like building a house on sand, which will fall down when a storm comes. It is your choice what you do. If you choose to follow God, then you will be rewarded. If you reject God, you have chosen destruction.
God bless you.
