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 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,...

57-0908M §70
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...
The Voice of God in this last days

Lord, time is running out. But the Bible said that, "As many as believed, were baptized." I pray, heavenly Father, that every one of those that raised their hands in true confession, that the Word of God that they have read, and seen that they've been wrong. I never looked at half of them. It's not for me to look, it's for You to look, Lord. You know the motive and objective behind the hand that raised up. Let them, from this very hour, purpose in their heart, "From this day, henceforth, I'll take the Word of God a...
Sir, we would see Jesus
63-1112 §22
We find in the Bible, over in the book of Kings, that there was a man by the name of Jehoshaphat, a righteous man. And there was the son of Ahab, Jehoram, and he was taking up the habits of his father, and then the king of Edom. And then they declared war, the Moabites did, upon Israel at that time. And Jehoram being king, after his father, why, he called on Jehoshaphat. And Jehoshaphat, a righteous man, should never have connected hisself with this unrighteous person. But many times Christians do that, just not th...
An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages

Now I just said that this era gave tremendous growth to the denominational spirit. If the Corinthian attitude of "I am of Paul, I of Cephas" was ever exhibited, it was now. There were Lutherans, Hussites, Zwingli's party, etc. Such fragmentation of the Body was deplorable. They were living a name but were dead. Certainly they were dead. They died the minute they organized. The great groups organized and tied themselves in matrimony to the state. That did it. They were finished. Here were those Lutherans who had cri...
