Thank you for completing this course. I trust it has enriched your life. Studying and applying the Word of God, including Biblical Law, is a lifetime project. In the future, we may add more courses dealing with the application of Biblical Law; for now, why don’t you look at the other courses we offer? If you have not taken the Love Covenant course, I highly recommend you do, as it is foundational to understanding the Bible in context.
