What does the Bible say about who is the blessed man?

In Matthew 5, the term 'blessed' is used to describe those who are favored by God. Specifically, it refers to those who believe the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and find all their salvation in Him alone. A blessed man is spiritually poor, mourning over sin, and exhibits meekness, hunger for righteousness, and mercy. These Beatitudes are not conditions for salvation but rather fruit that demonstrates the transformative power of God’s grace within those who have been called to faith in Christ.
