I may have overstated the matter.
It would be better said that the primary or ultimate goal of the gospel is not you at all, but the glory of God, and you are a means to that end.
The main point is that God is not an idolator. He does not worship and serve the creature rather than the creator. His primary purpose of doing anything he does is not us, but his own glory.
