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.

...find ourselves with the world under our feet. People think we're crazy. Don't you know the whole thing belongs to us? How can you buy peace with money? buy love with money (That's what the nations are trying to do)? joy with money? "Go down at the drugstore and get me a quarter's worth of joy. Yes, sir. I can use it." You can't do it! Why? It's a gift of God. It comes from God, and it's free to his children. It's in the refuge of Christ to those who have risen with Him in heavenly places. Right now we are seated wi...

How blessed be the name of the Lord! I wish I had words, I had the vocabulary, some kind of a word that I could express what He means to us. Yet it's without word. We ... He's... The prophet said He's the "Counsellor, Prince of Peace, mighty God, everlasting Father." And then he could ... run out of words. He said, "He's Wonderful." He didn't have any more titles he could give Him---Counsellor, Prince of Peace, mighty God, everlasting Father, and Wonderful. Amen! Oh, how we praise that great, mighty, Lord God Jehov...

When we see isms and things rising up and all these different things, we know there's got to be a true answer to this. There's people out yonder in the country now going into caves and things. "On the 16th of March (you've read it in the paper) the Lord's coming." You know that isn't so. Jesus said no man knows the minute or the hour. When we see all of these things and things taking place the way they are, there's got to be a true answer somewhere. There's got to be a truth. There's one east and one west, but ther...

Lord Jesus, we are a people who are trying our best, with all that's in us, to walk in the light of the gospel of your great Gospel that You died to make right. We are so thankful to see, in this evil dark days that we're living now in this hour, that we see the signs appearing. O God, as it is the handwriting on the wall, we thank Thee, Lord, that we can see it and know that deliverance is close at hand. We preach, we cross the country, we see You work great signs, show yourself daily, every year. There's not a ye...

Let's change our camera now to four thousand years later. In Jerusalem one morning, there'd been a great racket around through the country for three and a half years, that there was a fellow around there, healing the sick, performing miracles, seeing visions. He claimed to be the Son of God. He claimed that God was in Him; that He'd done nothing of Himself, but giving praise and glory to God for it. The church of that day condemned Him, and refused Him, and said, "He won't join up with our church, so we won't have...
