What does it mean that Christ's kingdom is spiritual?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's kingdom being spiritual means it transcends earthly realms, encompassing all believers in a divine, eternal relationship.

When we refer to Christ's kingdom as spiritual, we acknowledge that it is not confined to earthly structures, politics, or human ideologies. Isaiah 11:10 speaks of the root of Jesse that stands as an ensign for all people, indicating that His reign reaches beyond national or tribal affiliations to encompass Gentiles and every nation. The spiritual nature of this kingdom is affirmed throughout Scripture, notably in Ephesians 2:19-22, where believers are described as fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. This relationship signifies a unity among believers that is fundamentally spiritual, grounded in faith rather than in physical heritage or earthly achievements. Thus, Christ's kingdom is a living assembly of redeemed souls from all backgrounds, drawing its essence from the indwelling Holy Spirit, exchanging worldly pursuits for heavenly treasures.
