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.

I'm so glad that we have a shelter. "The name of the LORD is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it, and are safe." No matter how many bombs, or how many anything else, we're safe there. So, the world and the sinner not having this shelter ... or, this safety place, it's a shaking time. I believe if I wasn't a Christian, I'd go crazy; to thinking of what might happen at any time. And with a houseful of little kiddies and everything, I wouldn't know what to do. But I'm so glad that I can stand in my house and int...
A man running from the presence of the Lord

Dear Jesus, help us tonight now in these few words as we wait upon Thee. And we pray that your grace and mercy will be with us, Lord. Tender our hearts. Move back all the shucks, the thorns, the thistles, and let the blessed sunshine of God fall in upon the Word, Lord. And may we have such a great meeting till there'll not be an unsaved person among us, all the children will be in the kingdom of God. And those without the baptism of the Spirit, may they receive it, Father. May all the great mysteries that we are su...

Our heavenly Father, Thou art God. I pray that You will grant tonight the things that people are asking for. And I pray that You will show Yourself alive, to give consolation. Awhile ago when I asked for believers to raise their hand, Father, as far as I could see it was one hundred percent, that all of them was believers. Many ... most all of these people I am a stranger to. But Lord, You know them. Now, I have told them that there is a refuge, a tower, a rock in a weary land, a place in a weary land now, that whe...

...ds in prayer, just for a moment. (You're setting this up here. Oh, all right, sir. Thank you.) Most gracious Father, we are indeed grateful to Thee tonight for the presence of the Lord Jesus here on earth and among us, this great day of tragedy, where atomic bombs and missiles could at one sweep cause a total annihilation. But we are so thankful that we have a refuge: the name of the Lord is a mighty tower; the righteous run into it and are safe. We thank Thee, Father, for this, and for the grace of the Lord Jesus,...

We're at the end time. Something's taking... There's no way to stop it. There's not a way. There's only one way out of it, and that's up. There's no way of trying to hide. There's no hiding place, but one. As the little girls used to sing here, when I just a boy preacher, they use to sing, "There's no hiding place down here. I went to the rocks to hide my face; But the rocks cried out, there's no hiding place down here." But there is a hiding place: "The name of the Lord is a mighty tower; the righteous run into it...
