Matthew 22:35-38 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.
The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever
[Mat 7:21-23 KJV] 21 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. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Please reconcile this scripture with your statement.

No reconciliation is needed.
Both principles are true and congruent.

If we glorify and enjoy God, that is doing the will of the Father in Heaven, thus, we will not be working iniquity and be told to depart from Jesus!

And the Bible teaches that Christ Jesus will completely accomplish the Father's will.
John 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
