Yes. First it is a spiritual growth process. Second, except for the person of Jesus Christ, no human ever fully understood
God, not even Moses. Moses could/would not obey God in everything. and had to pay a stiff price for his failure. If he fully knew God, he would not have failed in his disobedience. Third, we are to strive to become Christ like - who fully achieved that goal? No one. Forth, One day we shall all know who and what God really is - 1Cor 13:7-12.
Because the goal may not be fully obtained while on earth, we are to study, understand, and practice what we know to the fullest! In the process we gain further knowledge of God, gain in wisdom, and become more Christ like. Spiritual growth.
I pray this helps.
Correct.
