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.

Some of you that's standing around the wall, where you have no room to sit down, would you just raise your hand and say, "Me, God. It's me, God." Bless you. God bless you, and you, and you, sister. You, my brother, and you, my sister. Oh, the Holy Spirit's so sweetly moving over the audience. Can you feel that? God bless you, young man, up here on the platform. God bless you, over in the corner. God bless you, young fellow. Yes. Oh, Holy Spirit move especially in our hearts. Now, show us our wrongs, Lord. We're not...
Micaiah the prophet
61-0426 §62
God, You still remain the same just as You did back there in the days of the prophets. You're the same God today. I pray, Father, that You will manifest Yourself to let the people know. Now, preaching---the world has been preached to death. The poor people don't know what to believe. They run here and there. Just as You said, in the last days there would come a famine, not for the bread alone, but for hearing the true Word of God. And if that time is nearing now, Lord, you said they would go east and west, north an...
Have not I sent thee?

God's still God! God is the God that was at Pentecost! God is the God that was in the burning bush. God is the God that opened up the Red Sea! What do we care about hydrogen bombs, or fallout shelters, or whatmore man can make? God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the time of trouble. The God of Abraham, Isaac, God of David. Certainly. He's still God. We just want to hear the Word, that's what... We are thankful that we have heard the Word and found it to be so. Yes, sir. He's a rock, a mighty tow...
The seven compound names of Jehovah
55-0120 §40
Now, the Lord is our refuge and strength, a very present help in a time of trouble. And in the redemptive names, S-h-a-m-m-a-h, Shammah, the Lord is present. Now, Jehovah-jireh, will provide. Jehovah, the provider, is present. You get what I mean? If He is the Lord's provided sacrifice, then He's got to be the Lord God present in a time of need. See what I mean? Now, if He is here tonight to save everybody from sin, He has got to be present tonight to fulfill the rest of these redemptive names. He's Jehovah-jireh,...

Heavenly Father, seeing that we are compassed about by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every word, every thing, every wrong, every evil word, every bad-spoken word, every thought, and let us run with patience the race that's set before us, looking to the author and finisher of our faith, the Lord Jesus Christ. O blessed be His most matchless and holy name! How that He came to earth to redeem fallen men, and to bring them back into the fellowship of the Lord God. And we thank Thee for this. And now...
