Belief alone will not save you. These are Jesus's direct words. Works? Yep. Faith? Yep. Both? Yep.

Actually, that passage is talking about an entirely different dynamic. Jesus is referring to those who "cry Lord, Lord" but do not acknowledge Him as such. There are many of them highly visible in our world today. I'm sure you've run into the "I believe in God, but the Bible isn't the only truth" crowd? Those are the people Jesus is condemning in that passage of Scripture.

And the will of the Father in heaven is that "none would perish, but have everlasting life"...

Put whatever spin on this very direct scripture that you'd like. I'm going to accept it as written: that saying "Lord" is not enough; DOING the will is also required.

"Doing" is a verb, mandating action for completion.
