Quick answer
God's people speak of the glory and power of His kingdom. They make His sovereign reign the subject of their testimony.
Overview
The faithful do not keep silent but proclaim the splendor and might of God's rule. This kingdom-talk is central to biblical worship and witness. Jesus made the kingdom of God the heart of His preaching, inaugurating that reign through His ministry, death, and resurrection (Mark 1:15).
