How do we know that the kingdom of heaven is spiritual?

Answered in 1 source

The kingdom of heaven is described in John 3:3 as a spiritual realm, accessible only to those who are born again.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus emphasizes the necessity of being born from above to enter the kingdom of heaven (John 3:3). This declaration reveals that the kingdom is not a physical domain but a spiritual reality in which true believers dwell. It is a condition that transcends mere intellectual or religious understanding and points to a life transformed by the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 2 affirms that believers are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, indicating that our true citizenship lies in the heavenly realm, and our lives should reflect this spiritual dynamic. Understanding this emphasizes the need for a spiritual rebirth to truly comprehend and participate in the kingdom's values and purposes.
