Can someone explain to me what makes someone a lukewarm christian? [Spirituality & Religion]

I read a lot about it but I don't fully understand it, because when do I know when I'm sinning or just overthinking? Or am I making excuses to myself? Like for example when I think of what I should wear, is it sinning? If I want to look decent but not over the top, is it sinning? Is sinning not that you worry about worldly problems? I bought myself some food today even though we have enough at home and then I felt like I learned nothing. Did you ever feel like you didn't fully commit?

I want to encourage you to see past sin.
A lot of us get so caught up in making sure we don't sin that we forget to just be with God.

When you only run from sin, there is no guarantee you will be running toward God.

But when you run toward God, you will always be running away from Sin.

So don't worry about what you wear, but remember to honor the promise to honor your Husband and your marriage.

Don't worry if you should or shouldn't be paying attention to the world and its brokeness, but remember that God has overcome the world and its brokeness.

Don't worry about buying food when you have food at home, remember God provides for you in all things.

Jesus died for it all, sister.
Jesus decided, "you know, I'm tired of looking at your sin. I'm going to look past it so I can just focus on our relationship. I'm going to Die and take your sin with me so that it doesn't have to be between you and I.

Jesus loved us that much, and I think we can learn a lot from that.

Mark 7:15
Nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean. It's what comes out of a person that makes him unclean.

Proverbs 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
