I would like us to ask ourselves before hearing the Word, whether we have ever sought and

praying to God for convenience; or if we have ever told God: I love you and I need you
many things, but for now I am busy glorifying your name, going to Church, and
to obey your commandments; or if we have been fasting and praying for a healing or
a need, and after God heard our prayer and performed the miracle, you forgot.
of Him.

Well, everyone knows their answer, now let's talk about unconditional love, this
a concept that man, and even many Christians, see as unreal, and that speaks of our
the ability to understand God and one's neighbor, in relation to their attitudes, grasping the idea
and putting it into action, when we accept the discernment to give without expecting anything in return
change.

Practicing that unconditional love daily benefits us in every way, but it requires a
personal work, loving selflessly, without manipulation, and enjoying the giving without
conditions because unconditional love frees.

To give without expecting anything in return comes from the heart of a Christian who has been transformed.
Truly, for the love and mind of Christ is in him; when it is said that love
True love is that which is given freely, and does not expect to receive in the same way since
In this way, we are conditioning our love.

Let's read the Word of God in Matthew 9:9-13 '...As Jesus passed by, he saw a man
called Matthew, who was sitting at the tax booth, and said to him: Follow me. And
he stood up and followed him. And it happened that while he was sitting at the table in the house, behold that
many tax collectors and sinners, who had come, sat together at the table with
Jesus and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to the disciples: Why
Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners? Upon hearing this, Jesus said to them: The

Many times due to circumstances in our life, or because of difficulties we face,

But God is the same from always, and His love for mankind is from the beginning, for
this is what his word tells us: 'I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore, I have extended my

Pablo said: "35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?.... 37 Rather, in all these things
we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Therefore I am sure of

the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35, 37-39.

We have been hearing the gospel and talking about the love of God for over two thousand years, but
we still can't believe it, and although we talk about the love of God, we really don't
we think that God loves sinners, and I say that we do not believe it, because we are not
capable of forgiving as the Lord does, since we should have the mind of
Christ.

We continue to rely on a mechanical and soulful confession (it's fine for a while and then not for a while)

We continue to make a God to our measure, we want to put God into our pathways.
while Jesus is telling us that we are the ones who have to walk through
the ways of God; let us understand that the Father is not there to satisfy our desires but
to lead us to desire something different that will take us to eternal life.

For Jesus, sin is not simply the transgression of the law but an attitude that arises from what

rejected by Jesus, but rather takes him as worthy of compassion and in need of
teachings so that he stops hurting himself and can reach his fullness in Christ, and many
Sometimes we forget the vision of Jesus.

The only thing that should matter to us is that God has an unconditional love for us, and
everything else is secondary, and this is what Matthew says about the reception that Jesus gives us
to all those of us who found ourselves in a state of sin.
The clearest example of unconditional love is that of Jesus Christ, his sacrifice on the cross.

fishers, for the saints and not saints, for 'the wages of sin is death, but the gift'
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23.

The circumstances or the actions of others cannot separate us from love.

Christ, it is us who can widen the distance, but despite the
distance God continues to love us, and continues to wait for us, for his love has not changed and
he is waiting for us to return "to the first love" to act in our lives, "remember, for
"Therefore, remember from where you have fallen; repent, and do the first works" Revelation 2:5.

The meaning of conditional applies to an action possible if a requirement is met,

while that of God's unconditional love applies to the person who follows Him faithfully,
without any limitation or condition; the Word speaks of a young man who loved God but
loved material things more than Jesus, and although Jesus knew that he was fulfilling his
commandments, he also knew that he was missing something more, for in the young man's heart there was
love of riches, Matthew 6:19-24. (rich young man)

The rich young man was not granted his requests; he wanted to follow Christ and although it was told to him
he asked for it but it was not granted and he left very sad because of the lack of unconditional love towards
