Law is spiritual, but "spiritual wickedness in high places": spiritual abuse. Grace is spiritual, but neither wicked nor abusive; And speaks of "higher" things than being left or right law law (legalistic, abusive to self & others), such as restoration of brethren taken in a fault. Higher, but not holier than thou, rather holy as thou art no more servant(slave) but a son. Grace speaks of being neither servant of sin nor servant of righteousness, but a son; Neither children of the wicked nor children of God, rather "be no more children" tossed to & fro by winds(spirits) of doctrine. "Grow in grace" speaks of get "spiritual understanding", maturity, by put away the put off: Law.
Sacrifices are spiritual, even acceptable to God, but only to God on "high" in plural divided law law "heavens", where it's "law worketh wrath" whether left behind in Moses' seat or right standing with Jesus. God in heaven, higher than the heavens, neither desired sacrifice nor took pleasure in such law law.

Receiving the promise (eternal life) comes after doing the "will of God": "I will have mercy(grace), and not sacrifice(law)". And the "not" part is not then, not now, not ever: Ps 40:6; 51:16; Hos 6:6; Mt 9:13; 12:7; Heb 10.
