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.

Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." He is the life. There is no conflict between Jesus, God, divine life, righteousness or the good. If one knows the divine life one knows God. There is no "ultimate point" that is God without divine life. There is no way to know God without knowing His divine life. To divide God from His divine life is to make a meaningless distinction. God is inseparable from His life. They are one and the same. You can't have one without the other.
