00:48:32.440 --> 00:48:40.519
We<00:48:33.280><c> must</c><00:48:33.539><c> battle</c><00:48:33.880><c> against</c><00:48:34.380><c> sin,</c><00:48:35.260><c> even</c><00:48:36.639><c> if</c><00:48:37.719><c> we</c><00:48:38.019><c> feel</c><00:48:38.900><c> alone.</c>

00:48:41.260 --> 00:48:45.360
But<00:48:42.099><c> we're</c><00:48:42.320><c> never</c><00:48:42.579><c> really</c><00:48:42.940><c> alone,</c><00:48:44.360><c> because</c><00:48:44.679><c> it's</c><00:48:45.019><c> actually</c>

00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:48.260
Yahweh's<00:48:45.920><c> battle,</c><00:48:47.000><c> and</c><00:48:47.139><c> it's</c><00:48:47.559><c> Yahweh's</c>

00:48:48.260 --> 00:48:51.199
victory.<00:48:48.820><c> We</c><00:48:49.079><c> have</c><00:48:49.699><c> his</c><00:48:50.119><c> armor</c><00:48:50.420><c> on.</c>

00:48:54.260 --> 00:49:01.260
And<00:48:55.039><c> those</c><00:48:55.280><c> are</c><00:48:55.500><c> the</c><00:48:55.679><c> legacies</c><00:48:56.559><c> left</c><00:48:57.039><c> by</c><00:48:57.659><c> Joshua</c><00:48:58.019><c> Bean,</c><00:48:58.840><c> Eliezer,</c><00:49:00.300><c> and</c><00:49:00.500><c> Shema.</c>

00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:06.619
But<00:49:02.400><c> really,</c><00:49:03.300><c> that</c><00:49:03.480><c> is</c><00:49:03.719><c> the</c><00:49:03.900><c> legacy</c><00:49:04.340><c> left</c><00:49:04.900><c> by</c><00:49:05.480><c> the</c><00:49:05.679><c> Lord</c><00:49:06.000><c> Jesus</c>

00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:20.980
triumphing<00:49:16.599><c> against</c><00:49:17.239><c> sin</c><00:49:17.980><c> through</c><00:49:18.400><c> the</c><00:49:18.820><c> strength</c><00:49:19.300><c> of</c><00:49:19.599><c> his</c><00:49:19.920><c> father.</c>

00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:29.320
And<00:49:22.579><c> God's</c><00:49:23.000><c> victory</c><00:49:23.739><c> was</c><00:49:25.179><c> seen</c><00:49:25.900><c> through</c><00:49:27.559><c> reconciling</c><00:49:28.300><c> the</c><00:49:28.619><c> world</c><00:49:28.980><c> to</c>

00:49:32.980 --> 00:49:37.780
It<00:49:33.079><c> was</c><00:49:33.260><c> really</c><00:49:33.579><c> Yahweh's</c><00:49:34.139><c> battle,</c><00:49:34.500><c> wasn't</c><00:49:34.719><c> it?</c><00:49:36.659><c> So</c><00:49:37.260><c> finally,</c>
