And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near
to God must believe that he exists and
that he rewards those who seek him.Hebrews 11:6

responded to
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.
Matthew 7:21
