Because you know life by knowing God, you don't know God by knowing life. Because the ultimate point is God, not life. Because life does not sum up everything God or Christ is. Because if you focus on Christ as life, you begin to miss the other things Christ is, like righteousness, as exemplified by the fruit of "we don't care about good and evil, we just care about life."
Trying to know God by knowing life is like trying to drive to Denver in reverse gear. It's not a good way to make the trip. The best way is to know life by knowing God.
