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 name of the Lord is a mighty tower, when the righteous run into it are safe. What kind of a tower? It's a tower of refuge, where we can go in there. And that ... the Word ... the Lord is the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God ... and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." Again, "If ye abide in me (the tower), my words abide in you..." Now that's when you're on the inside. Not when you're out there looking in; but when you're in here looking out, see. Whe...

I never come to preach prophecy. Let us pray. Blessed Father, tonight now as we open the Word, speak to us. Let it be known, Lord, that Thou art Christ the Son of God. And no matter how wicked the people are, it's only to fulfill Your blessed Word. And may the righteous see the name of the Lord as a mighty tower, and they run into it and are safe. Oh, blessed Redeemer, help us tonight to understand as we go into the Word. Let the Holy Spirit take the things of God and deliver them to each heart as we have need of....
An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 3:E-56
They knew the righteous life that accompanied the bearing of that Name, for whosoever nameth the Name of the Lord, let him depart from sin. Be ye holy, ye that bear the vessels of the Lord. Thou shalt not bear the Name of the Lord thy God in vain. These Ephesians were CHRISTIANS. They bore a Name, and that Name was Christ, Who was the Spirit of God within them, and Which was one of the threefold Names of their Lord.

"The name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it and are safe." Now, you can't come through some creed or something like that. You've got to die and come to it. You've got to walk into it, and die to yourself, and raise anew. And then every word of God becomes a real... Could you imagine a man having the baptism of the Holy Spirit, that wrote the Bible, and then say, "The days of miracles is past."?

Lay out in the presence of God then with our hearts (not our hands so much), but our hearts before God until He's seasoned us through and through like that, with the rays of his glory, and baked into us his goodness; and ripened that which we have got into reality, see, to where we can show others that Jesus Christ lives. Oh, my! We want to believe that.
