What does the law reveal about the deeds of an unregenerate person?
The law reveals that an unregenerate person's deeds are entirely sinful and contrary to the will of a holy God. It exposes what old Adam is made of, compounds sinfulness, and shows the person is carnal, fleshly, sold under Adam, and under the curse.
Les explains that the law shows what old Adam is really made of and compounds the sinner's sinfulness by revealing that everything he does is sinful and contrary to the will of a holy God. The law is spiritual, written by the finger of God, supernaturally presented to Israel, holy, and God-given. Paul says he is carnal, that is, in his pre-saved condition fleshly, sold under old Adam, and under the curse. Adam's sin plunged the whole human race under the curse and separated people from their Creator, and the religious person was no different.
