Answer: Jesus says in His teaching that only those people who DO, or OBEY, the Will of the Father Who is heaven will enter the kingdom of heaven. We cannot perform our actions for good while following false teachers and be pleasing to God. Those in God's kingdom OBEY the commands He has given to enter that kingdom, and then they continue to obey Him while enjoying the privileges of the kingdom of God, (verses 21, 22 and 23).
