J.D. GREEAR AT SEBTS 20/20 COLLEGIATE CONFERENCE

Naming some of the cultural objections to Jesus' claim that He is "the way, the truth and the life," Greear said most see this approach to God as archaic or arrogant.

"It's not being arrogant, but being convinced that Jesus is who He says He is. There can be just as much arrogance among the people who say Jesus isn't who He says He is."

Greear said many claim a more postmodern approach, saying whatever works for each person is fine for them.

"To say that religion is subjective and has no objective truth doesn't make that true," Greear said. "We can't just define God as we want Him to be -- He is what He is. You don't get your own personal Jesus. He gets to define Himself."

One of the most widely-used excuses may be that Christianity is divisive and unfair.

"All religions are exclusive, but the Gospel of Jesus is unique. It's not based on what we have done but what Christ has done for humanity." Greear said. "The Gospel, if you really understand it, doesn't lead you to exclusivism. It leads you to grace."
