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.

God's Provided Way
53-1201 §33
That doesn't show they're sinners. Not at all. Sometimes God does permit sickness to come. But if you know in your heart like Job did, that you were clean and clear before God, Job had some comforters to come too, and set with their backs turned to him for seven days, accusing him to be a secret sinner. [Gap in the audio.] " Thou speakest like a foolish woman. The Lord gave and the Lord taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Brother, he knowed one thing, that God was the alternative, God was all he had to ho...

Now, this time, just before the coming of the Lord Jesus, they had men... The church had got down to a place till it was very few that was looking for it. Just unconcerned, about like they are today. But God always has had a remnant of people who believed him. And one of them was a man named Zacharias and his wife named Elisabeth. They were righteous people, walking in all the laws and keeping all the statutes and commandments of God. And then down at the temple, Zacharias' part there was to burn incense. While the...
God's chosen place of worship
65-0220 §35
Now, we know that to be so. No other place to worship but in Him. There is not another name under heaven given among men whereby they must be saved. His is God's name of redemption. God has a name called Jehovah-jireh, Jehovah-rapha, Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord forgives all thy sins," Jehovah-rapha, "the Lord heals all thy diseases." He had many titles, but He's got one name of redemption that belongs to the human race, and that is the name of Jesus. That's His name He chose to put... Where did He put it? He put it in...
