How do we know God's kingdom is spiritual?

Answered in 2 sources

God's kingdom is described as not of this world, emphasizing its spiritual nature founded on God's principles rather than earthly powers.

In John 18:36, Jesus clearly states, 'My kingdom is not of this world,' which underscores that His reign is based on spiritual principles rather than fleshly or worldly ones. Unlike earthly kingdoms governed by power and military might, Christ's kingdom spreads through the gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit (1 Thessalonians 1:5). The Spirit empowers believers to live righteously and to hunger for spiritual truths rather than temporal pleasures. This spiritual emphasis demonstrates that the kingdom of God flourishes in the hearts of believers, manifesting through their faith and commitment to God's righteousness.
