What Is the Name of the Lord That the Righteous Run Into?
1) Direct Answer
The Name is the Lord Jesus Christ.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10).
- Salvation is in one Name: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven… whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12)—that Name is Jesus Christ.
- God made Jesus both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36). “Thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).
- The command was to baptize in the Name (singular) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19). Jesus said, “I am come in my Father’s name” (John 5:43) and “the Comforter… the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name” (John 14:26). That revealed Name we act in is “the Lord Jesus” (Colossians 3:17; Acts 2:38).
- “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21). In the New Testament, that Lord is Jesus.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- There is one God, not three persons. He was above us as Father, with us in the Son, and now in us as the Holy Spirit. The LORD of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New.
- The “strong tower” is not letters; it is the revealed Person and Name of God to us—Jesus Christ. We run into Him by faith, calling on His Name, obeying His Word, being baptized in His Name, and we are safe.
4) Reinforcing Statement
That’s the mystery: God manifested in flesh. The righteous find safety in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

A man running from the presence of the Lord
65-0217 §2
Bless every song that'll be sang, bless every prayer, and answer every one that'll be prayed, Lord. Save all the lost. Call back to the house of the living God and to fellowship those who've wandered away. We pray, God, that You'll heal every sick person that comes under our roof. Grant it, Lord. May there not be a feeble person among us at the end of these meetings. And dear God, then for ourselves, we who claim in this hour to be the church, the called-out, those around the world who have come from out of Babylon...

The Jews was called God's chosen people. They were chosen for a specific cause. And that cause was to give to them the law. And they could not keep it. And He just showed by that people that the law could not be kept. And if He was a God of righteousness... And the law demanded righteousness, but there was no grace in law to bring a man out. No penalty was paid by the law, but it taken grace to pay that penalty where the law put us under.
Letting off pressure
63-0113M §64
As a little rabbit, the story of he... The hounds was right behind him. He could feel their hot breath upon his feet. Just a little while, another jump or two, and the hound was going to get the little fellow. He'd be gobbled up just in a moment. But after a bit he saw a hole in a rock. And he thought, "If I could only get to that rock, then I'm safe." Just as the dog made the last jump at him, he felt his hot breath on his heels---but he run under the rock. Then he could sit down, and let off the pressure. The hou...
The way of a true prophet
63-0119 §60
In the Word of God there's safety. The Bible said, "The name of the Lord is a mighty tower. The righteous run into it, and are safe." And that's the only safe spot I know. The prophets always believed that. When Abraham died, when Job died, he placed himself in the promised land, his grave. When Abraham died, he bought a parcel of land right by the same place, by Job. What did he do? He watched that prophet. He knowed there was a man of God. And he said "I know my redeemer liveth, and at the last days he'll stand o...

He stood there. What man would be poor, didn't have a place to lay his head, that even knowed where a fish swallowed a coin. What man could take them big jugs of water and turn them into wine---and not have a place to lay his head? He had to face up to the responsibilities that had been given into his hands. What man that could raise a man out of the grave after he'd been dead four days and rotten? Could He not have saved Hisself? Sure, He could; but if He did, He'd have not saved us. He had to face up to the respo...
