Justified and Still Living by Faith
The Romans Road — Romans 1:1–17
Pastor Bill Sizemore | Reliant
The gospel is not only the message that saves sinners—it is the power that sustains believers. In this sermon from Romans 1, Pastor Bill Sizemore reminds us that justification by faith is not the end of the Christian journey, but the foundation for daily living.
Those who have been justified by Christ are called to walk by faith every day, living in the freedom, assurance, and power of the gospel from beginning to end.
Big Idea
The gospel sustains what it saves.
Phrase of the Day
Because I’m justified by faith, I can walk by faith.
Message Emphases
• Romans was written to secure believers, not to question their salvation
• The gospel gives righteousness; it does not demand it
• Justification is the foundation, not the finish line
• Spiritual flourishing happens when we walk by faith from our justification

Response
If you have never trusted Christ, righteousness is received by faith in Jesus.
If you are justified but not living in freedom, return to the gospel—not for forgiveness, but for freedom.
