"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me."
The faith that repents with zeal is the faith that opens the door and eats with Jesus. To open this door, you must have a burning heart and matching faith. Because you have to get rid of the things that are closing your heart, blocking your heart, and occupying your heart, you can only get rid of them by loving Jesus more. When you love other things more, you cannot open the closed door of your heart. They are my desires and my pride, so it would be a waste to get rid of them.
If you don't love Jesus with all your heart, you cannot open that door. Eating with Jesus is heaven itself.
