Jesus never said that. You continue to promote your false nonsense church dogma. What Jesus said is that it would not go well for these types of people
[i]Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat:

Matthew 10:33
but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
If you are denying Jesus here, you also will be denied.
Luke 9:23
And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
If you are not following Jesus now denying yourself, you are not following Him.
2 Timothy 2:12
if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us;
It is clear the Holy Spirit also confirmed this point, deny Him, He will deny us.
John 1:12
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
If you have not received Him, what rights do you have before God?
John 3:18
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
Jesus was clear, you don't believe in Him you are already condemned.
John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
You must believe and obey, if you reject Him, the wrath of God remains on you.
No one is denying God works will be, need to be, should be done, they are not what
saves us. That is simply us doing what we should nothing more than that.
Luke 17:
10 So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’”
If you think just doing what you are supposed to do is worthy of praise and entrance into
the Kingdom of God, think again.
