Reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
Rhesymau i gredu ym mhŵer y Beibl
'I’m in my second year studying maths and physics at Durham. I came home at the end of the second term, and didn’t go back. We had to move pretty quickly to get me home. I’m going back in September, or early October, but my classes will mostly be online. It will be different, but I think it’s nice, because I should be physically there. It’s a new normal.
'I’ve finished my exams, and so I’ve been reading the Bible quite a bit. I’ve definitely had more time to be able to do that. Before, I could read it one day and think it was really good and other days I didn’t read it. This time has helped me get more consistent in reading the Bible.
'The main thing I’ve realised through reading the Bible, is how God’s plan has been woven through history and is still working today. I was reading Romans and then went back to Exodus, and it’s been really good to have a fresh perspective on what God’s character is. It’s unchanging. So, in this uncertain time, I know that God is going to work in it. I’ve heard from my friends in Durham, that God has been speaking to them. It’s exciting to hear that God is working in this time.
'Reading the Bible has helped me to keep a level head. I’m not worried. There are still challenges and fears that I have, but there isn’t any reason to fear. It’s helped me to see that there is no reason to fear. We have our hope on a really strong foundation, so I don’t really worry.'
'Rydw i yn fy ail flwyddyn yn astudio mathemateg a ffiseg yn Durham. Deuthum adref ar ddiwedd yr ail dymor, ac ni es yn ôl. Roedd yn rhaid i ni symud yn eithaf cyflym i mi gael bod adref. Rwy'n mynd yn ôl ym mis Medi, neu ddechrau mis Hydref, ond bydd fy nosbarthiadau ar-lein yn bennaf. Bydd yn wahanol, ond rwy'n credu ei fod yn braf, oherwydd dylwn fod yno'n gorfforol. Mae'n normal newydd.
'Rydw i wedi gorffen fy arholiadau, ac felly rydw i wedi bod yn darllen y Beibl cryn dipyn. Yn bendant, rwyf wedi cael mwy o amser i allu gwneud hynny. O'r blaen, roeddwn i'n gallu ei ddarllen un diwrnod a meddwl ei fod yn dda iawn a dyddiau eraill wnes i ddim ei ddarllen. Mae'r amser hwn wedi fy helpu i ddod yn fwy cyson wrth ddarllen y Beibl.
'Y prif beth rydw i wedi'i sylweddoli trwy ddarllen y Beibl, yw sut mae cynllun Duw wedi'i wehyddu trwy hanes ac yn dal i weithio heddiw. Roeddwn yn darllen Rhufeiniaid ac yna es yn ôl i Exodus, ac mae wedi bod yn dda iawn cael persbectif newydd ar beth yw cymeriad Duw. Mae'n ddigyfnewid. Felly, yn yr amser ansicr hwn, gwn fod Duw yn mynd i weithio ynddo. Rwyf wedi clywed gan fy ffrindiau yn Durham, fod Duw wedi bod yn siarad â nhw. Mae'n gyffrous clywed bod Duw yn gweithio yn yr amser hwn.
'Mae darllen y Beibl wedi fy helpu i gadw fy mhwyll. Dydw i ddim yn poeni. Mae yna heriau ac ofnau sydd gennyf o hyd, ond nid oes unrhyw reswm i ofni. Mae wedi fy helpu i weld nad oes unrhyw reswm i ofni. Mae gennym ni ein gobaith ar sylfaen gref iawn, felly dwi ddim yn poeni mewn gwirionedd.'
