This chapter was so neat! Piper argues that the lack of shame in marriage (pre-fall) was due to their perfect, covenant-keeping love. There was no sin yet, but if there was reason for shame, they couldn’t experience it because perfect love & graciousness were present. Their union was founded on their then-perfect union with God — so cool to consider this & how the gospel restores both unions to be full of grace!
