At first glance, these verses seem to tell me that I am not going to inherit the Kingdom of God.
After I have been saved, I have committed at least half of those works of the flesh mentioned above.
Can someone please help explain how this verse fits in with Eternal Security?

There are no
"loop holes" by which we may want to skate by.
The purchase of your soul
has been accomplished by God in Jesus.
The conforming of your flesh to that of Christs, that is, to bring your body under subjection to that of what Christ was like and is, is your on going duty.
How well you do that, is up to you.
Rewards is good and consequences if not, you decide.
If salvation were left up to us alone, than you can kiss your body goodbye!
Decide what you want to do rather than what you have to do for the Lord and you will see that He will cleanse you out from within.
