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.

"But by one Spirit we're all baptized into one body," and that body is a family, the family of God. And that's the house of God, and the house of God is the name of Jesus Christ. "The name of the Lord is a mighty tower, the righteous run into it and are safe." Now, how you going to come in by a title? How's your check going to be received by saying, "Pay to the order of Reverend, Doctor, Minister"? See? You might be a reverend, doctor, minister. But the name of the Lord is "Jesus Christ." See? "I have chose to put...

I want to read two places tonight. I want to read in the book of Proverbs in the 18th chapter and the 10th verse for one place. And another place, I want to read Isaiah 32:2. Now, in Proverbs 18:10: The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and are safe. And in the book of Isaiah, 32nd chapter, 1st and 2nd verses: Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, a prince shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water...

Now, Isaiah described Him as a great rock in a weary land. That's this land---a weary land, or a weary time. We're living in a weary time, when people are trying to dig holes underneath their house, put a big tank in there. Well, don't you know if an atomic bomb would ever blast this place, well, that would go so deep into the ground it'd break every bone in your body? Why, some of them bombs will blow a hole a hundred and ... or a hundred and fifty, or two hundred feet, maybe, deep; and kill everything on top of t...

Let us bow our heads. Lord Jesus, great giver of eternal life, great Father of the spirit of the righteous, we thank Thee, O Lord, for Thy goodness and for Thy mercy. I want to thank You, Lord, for this little church, for all it stands for, and its goodness, and the things that it's done in Thy name. O Father God, the Bible said that He is a rock in a weary land, and the name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run in at it ... into it, and are safe. Oh, in this weary land where we travel and see people sw...

Our dear Heavenly Father, as we come to the close now of this little mixed-up message, as a parable, but let the people, Lord, take it home with them and ponder over it in their heart. And knowing that we can rest assure if we're built on material out of the Bible. That every plan of our salvation comes from "Thus saith the Lord," and we know we're correct. And then, Father, I pray that in vindication of this that I have said, that there is none other, no other way under heaven, not another name given under heaven,...
