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.

Started to turn to the little girl, or, to the lady, was standing there, I looked: going across the platform in front of me, and there went that old man with a striped suit on, two tone brown, striped suit, with a little hat, like you see laying there. He's the one that gives them to me. And he was going across this... across the platform like a shadow, tipping his hat to everybody, that southern way of doing it, like that, as he bowed. I said, "Congressman." He had on a blue suit and a red tie; as you politicians...

He will come in judgment upon the nation, and while He is being revealed in mercy, oh, hurry ye hither! Run quickly, children; get away from these man-made, Babylonian theological walls of unbelief and cold formalism. Run away from man-made theology. Get out in the middle of the field in God's grace, and there scream for mercy; for it is His blood of His own Son that gives the mercy to us. Get away from this old world of doubt. Get away from your superstitions. Accept God's message of mercy, and His message of deli...

Now, if you don't believe that's the truth, come in one time and find out. Come in, and be satisfied with what the Holy Spirit does. Don't find fault with it, wanting to get back out again.

An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 7:E-92
Now let us go another step, but before we do let us review our case thus far. First of all we know most assuredly that the purpose of God stands in election. It was purposed in Himself. It was God's purpose to bring forth a people like unto Himself that would be a Word Bride. She was chosen before the foundation of the world IN HIM. She was fore-known and beloved before she was ever brought forth during the ages upon the earth. She was redeemed by His blood and can NEVER come into condemnation. She can never be in...
