Charity

Alma 24:18

"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."

The Anti-Nephi-Lehi's were people of God. They were so concerned about the welfare of the Lamanites, who knew nothing about God, that they would rather die than have them die in sin. They were filled with charity towards their brothers, letting go of all selfishness. These people are true examples of the Savior, and how the Savior sacrificed Himself for us.
