I see what you are saying, but have you considered Revelation 3: 14-22 ?
[14] And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of the creation of God:
[15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot.
"The Amen,": that is, the true one, the Truth itself; the Word and Son of God. The beginning-- that is, the principle, the source, and the efficient cause of the whole creation.
[16] But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.
[17] Because thou sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, and have need of nothing: and knowest not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
[18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich; and mayest be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
[19] Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise.
Be zealous therefore, and do penance. [20] Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
[21] To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
[22] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches....
