Alma 43
Verse 29
And now, as Moroni knew the intention of the
Lamanites, that it was their intention to destroy their brethren, or to subject
them and bring them into bondage that they might establish a kingdom unto
themselves over all the land;

This is a
quick lesson in when you should defend yourself.
What is
the intention of the Lamanites? To destroy their brethren, or to bring them
into bondage. This does not sound fun. I
would also fight for my life, liberties and family at this point. Getting
captured in war meant being a slave for the rest of your days, and I’m thinking
the life expectancy wasn’t very long.
So what is
Satan trying to do to us here and now?
He is trying to do these exact same things to our spirits. Destroy our link to God and bring us into his
bondage (See 2 Nephi 26:22) . This doesn’t
sound fun either. And it sounds way more permanent than physical bondage
does. This is what we’re defending
against in our spiritual battle. How important is it to you?
