3.  That they believe the Scriptures. 1 Thess. 2:13 – And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God.  

4.  That Satan is bound from blinding them to the truth. 2 Cor. 4:4 – The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
