I don't understand where the issue is.

You can't reduce damage, but you do gain 1 life, and since you cannot "lose" during effect resolution, it doesn't matter if you reduce or gain life first since it's all part of the same effect. You do follow the order of things, but they technically happen at the same timing.

So, if you have 4 life, you'd survive Gargantua.
