Knowledge cannot be given as a gift in the way you seem to envision. Perhaps you want to say that God gives us belief as a gift. But in order for that belief to constitute knowledge, it must be justified, which means we must see (or readily be able to see) the logical connections between an underlying knowledge base and the belief we aim to justify. (It also means that such logical connections must exist to be seen.)

In particular, there's no way to salvage knowledge of God and avoid dealing with justification, for the very simple reason that justification is a prerequisite to knowledge!
