Revelation 1

Revelation 1:3b
"...and keep what is written in it,"

     O.K. so here it is - God is interested in our behavior? David was a man after God's own heart, but sometimes his behavior didn't reflect that. 
     When Jesus promised another counselor (Jn. 14), Judas (not Iscariot) asked the same question that we might ask today, "Lord, how is it that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?" Didn't Jesus come to save the whole world? Wouldn't He desire to reveal Himself to that whole world?
     Turns out that Jesus is interested in our behavior because that is how we relate, how we communicate with our Savior. We are no longer separated from Him as the non-believer is. His desire is that all men would come to Him. But the one who actually does come to Him will keep His word and Jesus and the Father will come and take up residence in that believer. We can't just make a decision to keep the words of God and determine to do good and be good. The decision that we must make is to keep Jesus. He is the word. He becomes the desire of our hearts.
