This question is a bit ambiguous to say the least. But judging by the language used, I'll assume you're talking about the Judeo-Christian "God".
In that case, I would say it's not supposed to be an understanding of the covenant; Rather, the core of your understanding should be an understanding of God's love and that God IS love. Both Judaism and Christianity support this idea, and as such, is one of the more traditional "cores" of the religion.
Originally, they were intended to develop spiritual understanding, awareness, and direct experience of ultimate reality.
Reality, and God.
A clear understanding of reality.
As a technique for understanding reality.

All religions are a philosophy. A relevant definition of religion from Webster's Dictionary is " a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith." A relevant definition of Philosophy is, "a search for a general understanding of values and reality by chiefly speculative rather than observational means." All religions offer a general understanding of values and reality by chiefly speculative means. Once you have chosen a religion you have arrived at your own personal philosophy of life.

He taught that it is in our nature to experience suffering, but that there is a way to experience life differently, by understanding the origins of our suffering. These origins of suffering have to do with clinging to things as permanent (such as the notion of a permanent self, among others), when in fact there are no such permanent things. The way to overcome this clinging is to cultivate certain habits in how we experience the world. These habits include understanding how morality & remorse affect our experience, how our ability to concentrate on our experience from moment to moment affects it, and how developing wisdom about the true nature of reality affects it. This true nature of reality is normally hidden from us by mistaken thoughts & feelings. It is what exists beneath or behind the world of thought-feelings. The habits of experience needed to penetrate the delusions of thought-feelings are developed by pursuing behavior that does not lead to remorse, by increasing one's ability to concentrate & be aware of what's happening in the moment, & by thus developing the wisdom to live with true understanding of the nature of things are they actually are.

Phenomenal reality is half of philosopher Immanuel Kant's (1724-1904) theory on the understanding of knowledge. It is basically Kant's term for the world as we experience it. The other half of his theory involves noumenal reality, which is his word for objective reality.
No it isn't.
