Knowing God is the only purpose we are living on the face of the earth.
If we refuse to know God through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, there is no reason for God to keep us alive.
God keeps us alive, however, because He loves us and because He is gracious, thus giving us time to know Him through His only begotten Son. And when our time is over, we will die.
The knowledge I have gained to play golf is the knowledge I have learned from the knowledge of ace golfers. And the reason beginning golfers can remain beginning golfers all the years of their golfing experience is because of their lack of the knowledge of golf. Thus they remain hitters of golf balls instead of becoming golfers. Their game is like a car engine running, but the transmission is stuck in neutral. They keep swinging, but there is no improvement in their swing because of their lack of the knowledge of golf.
Deception is an invisible wall to the untrained eye, and beginning golfers are deceived by their lack of knowledge, and they do not know their mistakes because of their lack of knowledge; neither do they know what they could do to improve.
Likewise, the knowledge I have learned about God is the knowledge I have gained from the knowledge of other believers as well as from the knowledge of God's Word, which is the Holy Bible.
Deception is also an invisible wall to the untrained eye of unbelievers because they lack the knowledge of God.
God wants us to know Him and to love Him as He knows and loves us. He created us and we are therefore His children. But if we refuse to know Him, then we have chosen to believe in another god: a make-believe god from the fantasy world human imagination.
For if we say we believe in God, then our behavior will be a reflection of God, our heavenly Father; but if our behavior does not reflect the characteristics of God, then our behavior will reflect the characteristics of another god.
Likewise, if we gain the knowledge of golf, our behavior will reflect the characteristics of a golfer; but if we refuse the knowledge of golf, our behavior will reflect a hitter of golf balls.
Knowledge is easy to learn if we are willing to become humble and become students. But if we are proud and puffed up in our own conceit, we will never become golfers and we will never come to accept God as our heavenly Father. Thus the knowledge of golf, nor the knowledge of God, will never be present in our minds.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. (Proverbs 3: 8)
By the way, you can pray to God about your golf game and He will help you if you will ask; for God has the knowledge of everything in the universe.
