Congratulations on completing Biblical Law I, and welcome to Biblical Law II. I trust that you have learned a great deal. God's Law is amazing. If we followed it as a nation, everyone's life would be improved, except those who want to live by hurting others. We must begin by applying Biblical Law to ourselves, then to our sphere of influence and helping other Christians see how vital it is.
