The first six chapters of The Pleasures of God are focused on God's pleasure in Himself. God is the center of the gospel. His passion for His glory is the foundation of all good things that come to us. Chapter 7 is a turning point.
In chapter 7, Piper meditates on the pleasure of God in doing good to His people. He draws out 3 promises from Jeremiah 32:39-41:
I will not turn away from doing good to My people.
I will rejoice in doing them good.
I will rejoice in doing them good with all My heart and with all My soul.
"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God."
