Where does the old Adamic nature we're born with lead?
The old Adamic nature every person is born with leads only in one direction: death, and specifically eternal death. Scripture teaches that the wages of sin are death, so everything a lost person does, whether good or bad, accumulates wages that result in eternal doom.
Les explains from Romans 6:23 that the old Adamic nature has only one direction: death, eternal death. He points out that wages are something you work for and are never a gift; they are what you get in return for something you have done. Therefore everything the lost person does, good or bad, piles up wages for eternal doom. By contrast, the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, which is not earned by works.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
