You must be called by the King

All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
Esther 4:11 KJV

1. If you approach the King without being called, you will die.
2. Only whom the King calls may approach His throne.
3. The King does not call on everyone, but only those He loves.

Those in Matthew 7:21-23 were not called by the King. Notice they bring their works, casting out of demons and prophesying, but no mention of the righteousness of Christ.

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?
Matthew 7:22 KJV

Just like damsel Abishag cherished and ministered to King David... He knew her not.

And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.
1 Kings 1:4 KJV

The gospel is how one is called

2 Thessalonians 2:14 (KJV 1900) — 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

and it goes out to all

Mark 16:15 (KJV 1900) — 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Matthew 28:19–20 (KJV 1900) — 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

I haven't seen anyone deny the call of the Gospel.

Have you ignored the "sent" part

Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
