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.

Dear Lord Jesus [Gap in the audio]. " Thou the stream of all my comfort, more than life to me. Whom have I on earth besides Thee? Or whom in heaven but Thee?" Dear God, we pray now that your mercy and grace will be sent upon each and every one of us, Lord. We're here around the altar. Many could not come up; You'll meet them at their seat. Whatever we offer, Lord, You're willing to receive. If we just offer You our time, You will receive it; talent, You will receive it. But, Lord God, tonight we're going beyond tha...

Now, may the Lord add his blessing. And my text is Jehovah-jireh. Now, God appears in seven compound redemptive names. Ministers know that. His first redemptive name is Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord will provide a sacrifice." His second redemptive name is Jehovah-rapha, "the Lord that healeth thee." And He has... Lord, the shield, the buckler, Lord... In seven different compound redemptive names God appeared to the human race. And all of those redemptive names was brought into Christ Jesus through that one eternal name...

Bless this little church, this group that comes here under the roof, that sojourns with us here in the city---coming out of many states. Oh, when the evening shadows are falling, we are so glad to have a place to come. When the world is so confused and do not know where they're standing, we are glad that "the name of the Lord is a mighty tower, and the righteous run into it and are safe." Just not so many words, but a revelation. So, we pray, Father, as the evening lights would come at the setting of the sun... And...

...er testimony. She said, "Well, I want to say this," she said. "I ain't what I ought to be, and I ain't what I want to be. Then again, I know I ain't what I used to be." So, that was it. So we know that we have passed from death unto life because we are alive. We're not what we used to be. It's wonderful to know that the pressure can be let off. That's all. "The name of the Lord is a mighty tower that the righteous run into. And He is a rock in a weary land," a rock in a weary land.

Bless every song that'll be sang, bless every prayer, and answer every one that'll be prayed, Lord. Save all the lost. Call back to the house of the living God and to fellowship those who've wandered away. We pray, God, that You'll heal every sick person that comes under our roof. Grant it, Lord. May there not be a feeble person among us at the end of these meetings. And dear God, then for ourselves, we who claim in this hour to be the church, the called-out, those around the world who have come from out of Babylon...
