There can be many ways in which we primarily approach God as a means to some other end: health, success, wealth, self-improvement, the life we imagine, relationships, morality.
Many benefits can accrue to our lives when we know God, and every one of them can become an idol. The only real, lasting benefit of knowing God is in knowing the One who loves us most, growing intimate with Him, having our hearts simultaneously rejoice and break with love for God and our neighbor.
