Amazing

Last night I was reading "The Book of Mormon" in Alma Chapter 24, which talks about how the "Anti-Nephi-Lehies" vowed not to fight against their brethren the "Lamanites", and in verse 18
it says;

"And this they did, it being in their view a testimony to God, and also to men, that they never would use weapons again for the shedding of man's blood; and this they did, vouching and covenanting with God, that rather than shed the blood of their brethren they would give up their own lives; and rather than take away from a brother they would give unto him; and rather than spend their days in idleness they would labor abundantly with their hands."

I think that this verse is amazing. These people had the courage to be able to stand up for what they believed was right, and not fight. They would rather die for them, than take their lives.
I just think that this Scripture represents SO much courage in standing up for what you believe is right, and hope that someday we could all be like this.
