I take that to mean you should humbly obey what is laid out in the sermon in which this verse is found--not make a big show of your deeds while ignoring what Jesus has commanded. Seeing the state of modern Christianity it's no wonder people simply fail to read verse 21 and use verse 22 to refute the content of verse 21. Wowsers indeed!
First, you're assuming that everyone who cries "Lord!" has saving faith, when the next verse, and other passages such as the parable of the sower, refute that.
Second, you're ignoring the passage I gave, which explicitly says that the work of God is to believe on Jesus.
