How do we know Christ is the blessed man described in Psalm 1?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is the blessed man because He perfectly fulfilled the law and embodies righteousness, serving as our ultimate example.

The blessed man of Psalm 1 ultimately points to Jesus Christ, who embodies the perfect fulfillment of the law. Scripture reveals that Christ is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, as mentioned in the Sermon on the Mount. He rejected the counsel of the ungodly and delighted in the law of God, fulfilling every jot and tittle of the law perfectly. As the second Adam, Christ's life exemplifies what it means to be truly blessed—His thoughts, actions, and meditations were always aligned with God's will. Therefore, being in Christ means being covered by His righteousness.
