The thing I have known for sometime now, that God knows the difference between what we say with our mouths, and what our heart really says. Proverbs 18:21 says our hearts are deceitful, and it lies to us, He chooses those that do not lie to Him. Loving God is a total thing. In fact if we are luke warm He will spew us out His mouth, He can do more with us if we ice cold, but prefers us to be sold out for Him. The OT Prophets were totally committed to God, Isaiah walked in the desert totally naked.to reveal the nakedness of Israel.

Revelation 3:16-17
I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other! because you are lukewarm neither hot nor cold I am about to vomit you out of My mouth! You say, I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing. But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.
Berean Standard Bible

James 4:8
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. NKJV
