How do we know the law is spiritual?

Answered in 2 sources

The law is described as spiritual because it reflects God's perfect nature and standards, while we are carnal and unable to fully uphold it.

The nature of the law is described by Paul as spiritual, contrasting with our carnal state. This means that the law reflects the holiness and righteousness of God, serving as a perfect standard that we, in our sinful humanity, are unable to fully meet. This spiritual aspect of the law can lead to condemnation, as it highlights our failures. Understanding that the law is spiritual encourages believers to look beyond mere outward obedience to an inward transformation through faith in Christ, who fulfills the law on our behalf.
