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.
