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 Seal of God and the Mark of the Beast, part 2
61-0217 §25
Now, we go on down here, get some of our scriptures we was using. Seal, being the mark: how that the seal was used instead of a name, put it on and the name of Jesus Christ is the seal of God, the righteousness of God. "The name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it, and are safe. Is that God's seal? "Whatever you ask the Father in my name, that will I do." Is that right? "Whatsoever you do in word or in deed, do it all in the name of Jesus." Is that right? Everything you do. Peter said on the da...
It is I, be not afraid
62-0611 §8
I was preaching the other night on "The name of the Lord is a tower, where the righteous run into it and are safe." Aren't you glad to be in there tonight? Safe in his own Word. All the devil's darts are passed away, by our shield of faith to know that we are standing in that safety zone, anchored in Christ, safe as we can be in there. Not even death, itself, can harm us. We're already dead. Our lives are hid in God through Christ, sealed in there by the Holy Ghost. Isn't that wonderful?
Letting off the pressure
62-0518 §66
...hrist, you're alive. If you're in Christ you believe his Word. If you're in Christ He manifests Himself to you. If you're in Christ you've passed from death unto life. "The name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it and are safe." Not the denomination is a mighty tower; not the creed is a mighty tower, but "The name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it and are safe." Let off the steam; just come to Christ. Don't come, "Well, I'll take the creed of this church. I'll take the cr...
Redemption by Power
54-0329 §15
Now, kind, loving Father, we come to Thee, addressing Thee first, in the name of Jesus. Praying now, that, as we stand here, sheltered under this roof, tonight, where that storm is raging outside, rains twisting and blowing, we're so thankful to have the house of God to come into. And we're thankful that there is a tower, a refuge; You said, "The name of the Lord is a mighty tower; the righteous run into it and are safe." We're so glad that we know the name of the Lord, and have come into it. Now we pray that You'l...
Church Ages, part 4: The Smyrnaean Church Age
60-1206 §2
Lord, seeing that ... seeing the climax of all ages, time is fixing to run out, and eternity sets in. Father God, we are so glad to know that we're living in that remnant today, watching our lives and seeing the kind of objectives we have, the motives we have; and seeing that the Holy Spirit has took over. God, may every person in divine presence tonight realize these church ages that we're living in, and flee quick to the Lord Jesus; for it is so plainly written that "The name of the Lord is a mighty tower. The ri...
