How do we know that Christ is the blessed man?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is identified as the blessed man because He alone perfectly fulfills the requirements of Psalm 1 by never walking in the counsel of the ungodly.

According to Psalm 1, the truly blessed man is described through the actions he does not take—walking in the counsel of the ungodly, standing in the way of sinners, or sitting in the seat of the scornful. This depiction aligns with Christ, who never engaged with sin or the world's wisdom but always kept perfect righteousness. He is the embodiment of true blessing, demonstrating how to delight in God's law, and His life and works prosper because He fulfills the Father's will without failure. In Jesus, believers find their representation and the ultimate expression of blessing.
