How do we know the law is spiritual?

Answered in 1 source

The law is described as spiritual because it probes the heart to reveal true motivations and desires.

In Romans 7:14, the Apostle Paul clarifies that 'the law is spiritual.' This implies that the law transcends mere external compliance; it scrutinizes the inner being and calls for a purity of heart. This spiritual quality means that adherence to the law is not just a matter of outward observance but involves genuine love and worship of God. The law demands deeper spiritual truths, compelling believers to reflect on their motivations and desires that align with God's character. It leads to understanding that true obedience stems from a heart transformed by grace.
