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

Answered in 2 sources

Christ fulfills the role of the blessed man by perfectly obeying God's law and being our source of blessing.

In the context of Psalm 1, Jesus Christ is revealed as the blessed man because He perfectly embodies the qualities described in the psalm. He did not walk in the counsel of the ungodly; instead, throughout His life, He demonstrated unwavering obedience to the Father. As Hebrews 7:26 indicates, He was holy, innocent, and separate from sinners. By His righteousness, He ensures that believers in Him are blessed, as all spiritual blessings are found in Christ alone (Ephesians 1:3). Thus, understanding Christ as the blessed man helps us to realize our own need to be found in Him for true blessing.
