In the King James Version of the Bible Jesus is quoted as follows:

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.

The will of the Father which is in heaven is revealed throughout the Holy Scriptures. Ignore that revelation and cling to your simplistic, self-serving interpretations at your own peril!

John 6:29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

It's not about doing things.

Even bad people can do good things.

It's about believing God.

The will of the Father is to constantly and urrevocably believe on Him Whom He hath sent. No more, no less, nothing else; and by this committing to keep watchfully secure and carry out whatever commands He has declared.

Ditto!

Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst. But as I told you, you have seen Me and still you do not believe. Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day. For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:36-40)
