What does it mean that God's kingdom is not of this world?

Answered in 1 source

God's kingdom, as stated in John 18:36, is a spiritual realm governed by Christ's grace, distinct from earthly kingdoms.

In John 18:36, Jesus declares, 'My kingdom is not of this world.' This emphasizes that His reign transcends earthly power structures and embodies a spiritual kingdom characterized by grace. Unlike human kingdoms, which are often marred by injustice and greed, God's kingdom is governed by His perfect wisdom and justice. It is within this kingdom that Christ exercises His sovereign will over His people, ensuring that they are not subject to the flawed justice of this world. Moreover, Christians are called to recognize and participate in this spiritual kingdom, living in accordance with its values and truths even amidst worldly opposition.
