How do the motions of sins bring forth fruit unto death?

When people are in the flesh without spiritual life, the motions of sins—the activity the Law condemns—work in the body’s members and produce fruit unto death. For the unsaved, this death is the outcome of their works, which will be reviewed at the Great White Throne Judgment.

Les teaches from Romans 7:5 that when we were in the flesh, before having spiritual life, the motions of sins were the activity that the Law would condemn. Those motions were by the Law and worked in our members, meaning the body of flesh, to bring forth fruit unto death. He explains that this is what the unsaved person is living for: physical death. The works of their unsaved experience will come up before them at the Great White Throne Judgment someday, and that fruit they will have is death.
