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.

Now, God lets it get that way. Now, He brought Israel right into the trap---mountains and deserts on both sides, Pharaoh's army pursuing, thousands of chariots and spears. And a bunch of humble little poor slaves not armed with nothing, come down to the Dead Sea ... or the Red Sea rather, right down to its banks, and here was the dust of the chariots coming. And here was the mountains on either side, no way. Looked like God was a bad military man, left His people with no retreat. Sometimes He does that: Let the doc...

Now, many times I just love to talk, and I can't do too much of it---it being almost twelve now. And so we are going to ask you, maybe, to turn in the Scriptures, if you would like to read the Scriptures with us, or mark it down. First, I want to read out of the book of Proverbs. I believe that I turned to that this morning when I was searching around. Proverbs, 18th chapter and the 10th verse: The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and is safe. And then in Isaiah 32:2 I want to read thi...

Heavenly Father, as we read in the Bible of what You said about sin and those who do it and not confess, we realize what it means to die without knowing God. We know that by experience of others that we have seen go, those who intended, those who put it off too long. God, those who had professed and not possessed what they said they had. Those who had acted like Christians and yet never was a Christian; their life proved it, and their death made it manifest. Now, Father, I pray that You'll speak to every heart here...

The same Angel of God that was with Paul on the stormy sea that night when the devils would glee and laugh at every stroke of lightning that flashed across the waves. He come running out of there with the assurance, and he said, "The Angel of God, who's servant I am, has stood by me; there's not going to be a soul lost on this ship." I would recommend you to that firm. It's reliable. It's safe. "The name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it, and are safe." Just deposit yourself in that account t...

How can the Spirit-filled children of today prophesy good to a sinful, indifferent people that has turned the Lord outside? O God, we only see the bitterness of judgment ahead. And screaming to those who are not right, "Flee to the Lord, for He is the rock in a weary land! He's the shelter in the time of storm. And the name of the Lord is a mighty tower, and the righteous run into it and are safe." How can we think of those great cities built of refuge? And when the pursuer ... after the man and he got into the tow...
