You can provide a signal at the start of each point.

For example, the first paragraph can begin, "First, I want to say blah blah blah..." and the second paragraph can continue your point. The third paragraph begins, "Secondly, there's this..." And the fourth paragraph signals itself as the last point with "Finally, this other point exists..."

Points two and three can be separated into short paragraphs or combined into one.

To make your structure even more clear, prelude the points with another signal, something like "Consider the following three points."
