I voted yes, and before anyone quotes this is the will of God to believe in Jesus, lets also say that after believing in Jesus, how we live is important:
1Co 6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,
1Co 6:10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
Gal 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,
Gal 5:21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
So the will of the Father in heaven is more than "believe in Jesus". It is simply, faith. True faith is manifesting in our daily life.
Jesus Himself also speaks about doing the Father's will. It is a broad subject to say the least
The verse you quoted in context, notice that the reason they do not enter is because they are workers of iniquity (evil, sin, wickedness) so in other words, they had all the out-ward works of signs and wonders but they had never repented, they never went through godly sorrow that process of repentance. Which is why Jesus tells them I never knew you.

I agree this is the starting point
if we believe, we will also follow
but it is a process
sanctification is not instantaneous (although positionally in Christ it is so) so when people get worked up over doing the will of God I would state we begin with believing and then we renew our mind through the word

Yes.
God's will is that we do good to others.
Heb 10:36You need to persevere, so that after you have done God’s will, you will receive what He has promised.
Romans 2:7To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life.

you also have to know this is loaded question, jaden already has his pre-packaged responses.
like asking someone " when did you stop being a thief? "
no way to answer that without given the questioner an admission of being a thief . no way to give a answer here without pointing to the lie of salvation by works.
how about this, jaden- what IS the will of God??
