Why were the Nephites’ liberty, land, and religion important enough to risk dying to defend?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Praying always opens the door for divine help to ‘conquer Satan.’ Each time Jesus alerts priesthood holders to ‘beware, for Satan desireth to sift [you],’ He prescribes prayer as the temptation-countering action [see D&C 52:12–15; see also Luke 22:31–32; Alma 37:15–17; 3 Nephi 18:18–19]” (Perkins, “Beware concerning Yourselves,” 54–55).
