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.

The Hand of the Lord came upon him

Oh, His love, His grace, how it moves through the people! How wonderful! How matchless! How I adore Him! How He's the fairest of ten thousand! The great Alpha, Omega, the resurrected Lord Jesus, who shall come with ten thousands of His saints to magnify the little flock to redeem them up into glory with Him! He, the most lovely One, stands in our midst tonight with His arms stretched forth, saying, "Whosoever will, let him come and drink from the fountain of the waters of life." I adore Him, the matchless One! Let...
A man running from the presence of the Lord
65-0217 §73
Now, we believe that the hour has come that St. John 14:12 must be fulfilled. We believe that Malachi 4 must be fulfilled. We believe that Luke 17:30 must be fulfilled. We believe that all these prophecies that He said would come to pass in this day, we believe they must be fulfilled. And we believe we're seeing them fulfilled right now. That's exactly right. Stop running. Don't get out of his presence; just move up into his presence. That's right. And I know that's what you're desiring to do, because I seen licens...
The mark of the beast
56-0715 §71
And now, Lord, give us faith to operate this power. We see when You give the disciples power and told them to raise the dead, heal the sick, and cast out evil spirits. We find that they were defeated. And they said to You, "Why couldn't we do it after You give us the power?" You said, "Because of your unbelief." God, take away my unbelief and the unbelief of this audience. And I approach Thee, Lord, as if I were dying. And I stand in the breach here this morning, between the living and dead. And I ask Thee, dear Go...
He that is in you
63-1110E §34
...pulled them out. All in the different ages, the Pentecostal age, He pulls them out. They're over here, won't be judged with them, they're rapturing. And then, when the last name comes out, that was put on the Lamb's book of life, that was slain before the foundation of the world; when that last name has been redeemed, his work is finished. He comes forth to claim what He has redeemed. That makes our heart bleed. But if it went on a thousand years later, there would not be one redeemed. And no one can be redeemed un...
Letting off the pressure

He is a rock in a weary land. There's a cleft in the rock for sinners, unbelief. Just run into the rock and be safe. Christ is our rock. People today run after everything else but Christ. They run after denominations, they run after sensations. Everybody's got blood, fire, smoke, or something, and people run after it. Why don't you take his Word? for He is the Word. Run into that, and you're safe, 'cause heavens and earth will pass away; but my Word shall not pass away. Yes, sir. Today it's always something they go...
