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.

Build up pressure---what makes them do it? Because they left Him. They left his Word. They accepted creeds, and all these things, dogmas. Got away from the Word. The Word of the Lord is a ... name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it, and are safe. The thing of it is, we don't try to run into the name of the Lord, but we try to run into the name of the church. And that's the reason we're sweating it out, but ... and building up pressure all the time, because we're... New denomination, new someth...

Sometimes God places you in a congregation that's wrong to shed some light. Don't jump up, just keep jumping from place to place, from one thing to another. Just stay under the blood. Go to running out, then your security is gone. Stay under the blood. "...name is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it, and they are safe." Let off the pressure. See Him in the hours that we know that there's people that's under that blood. We see it vindicated. We see God, what He does to vindicate his church. Promised anything w...

Now, when this man, running, an enemy behind him... Soon he'll catch him and slice him to pieces for the sin that he did. But when he's in there, he can let off the pressure. He's safe! The guard at the gate will catch him (his slayers) before they get in, because he's made it safe to the tower of refuge. Now. Then when he's in there how he could feel safe and let off the pressure. "Whew! My! They were ready to get me, but I'm all safe now." What a place to find a refuge, a place of safety. Outside he'd die; in the...

But we Pentecostal people has begin to think 'cause we have the name of Pentecost, we can go ahead and live in the world and do anything we want to. We're like climbing Nimrod's tower. It'll go to ashes. Like Adam's fig leaf aprons, she'll go back. Like Seigfried line in France, Maginot line in Germany, she crushed 'cause there's no other tower, no other stand. But "The name of the Lord is a mighty tower that the righteous run into and are safe." When you run into it, you take the name---the name, not just calling...

So let's, for a Scripture reading, let's read in God's Word tonight out of Proverbs, the 18th chapter and the 10th verse, and out of Isaiah 32:2 to begin with. Now in Proverbs, the 18th chapter and the 10th verse reads like this: The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and are safe. And in the book of Isaiah 32:1 and 2: 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 o...
