....” 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.”....

Almost right....just need to write what the Fathers will is....

Jesus said.......”For THIS IS is the will of My Father,.... that everyone who beholds the Son and believes ‘in Him’ will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”..........And again....”Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”...”For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD....as is written... For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world ‘through him’. ....For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast......

John 6:40,John 17:3 ,Proverbs 8:35,Ephesians 2;8,John 3:17.

Please do not ignore what “believing in” consists of!

1John 2:

[3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
[5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
[6] He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Few that profess to believe even come close to that standard.
