Alma 27:28
"And they did look upon shedding the blood of their brethren with the greatest abhorrence; and they never could be prevailed upon to take up arms against their brethren; and they never did look upon death with any degree of terror, for their hope and views of Christ and the resurrection; therefore, death was swallowed up to them by the victory of Christ over it."
These people understood the eternal nature of their Spirits. They knew that death was not the end of existence. Death is just a passing point from this life to the next life. Because of Jesus Christ, we will all have bodies again after we die. We will all be resurrected and live in a more perfected state. We will gain the body that reflects how we have lived our lives on the earth. This life is a preparatory state and determines our welfare after we die. When we trust in Christ and live how He lived, death is not worrisome!
