“Do not keep them back!” (Isaiah 43:6)

When you were a sinner, Christ didn’t keep anything back from you, so don’t keep sinners back from your sphere of influence. Don’t keep them away with your coldness, harshness, or suspicions. Christ said, “I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance” (Mark 2:17). “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”, and everyone God saves are “justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:23–24).

In some of Christ’s parables, He uses huge sums of money as a symbol of God’s grace. For example, a typical saint would never own a talent (20 year’s wages), unless it was given as a free gift from God. It’s a gift to be used for His glory, so don’t keep it back!

God gives “life to your mortal body through His Spirit who dwells in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors” (Romans 8:11–12). “Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?  For you were bought at a price; therefore (don’t keep it back!) glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:19–20).

The Apostles consistently taught, don’t keep it Back! “Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,  knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ” (Colossians 3:23–24).

But if you’re not saved, don’t let sin or fear hinder you. If you feel the Father drawing you, don’t keep back! Keep going till He saves you. Christ says, “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out” (John 6:37).
