It is not true that God is our only good. It is the fact that God is the only good and thus, He is our only good. There are three responses to the goodness of God.
1) To be God
2) "To be like God and to share His goodness" (Lewis, 18)
3) To be miserable
As a part of creation it is impossible for us to be God. The creature cannot be the creator. Thus, we are left with two alternatives - we must either be like God and share in His goodness or we must not be like Him and have no share in His goodness. By having no share in God we have no share in goodness; thus our only option is to live in misery.
