How do we know the law of God is spiritual?

Answered in 1 source

The law is spiritual, as noted in Romans 7:14, requiring inward perfection of the heart and mind, not just outward compliance.

Paul states in Romans 7:14 that 'the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.' This indicates that God's law demands a heart-level obedience and spiritual integrity, reflecting a righteousness that surpasses mere external actions. Jesus reinforces this in Matthew 5:22, where He teaches that even anger can bring judgment. Therefore, understanding that the law goes beyond external observance to the condition of the heart is vital for Christians.
