Alma 48:16

and also, that God would make it known unto them, whither they should go to defend themselves against their enemies; and by so doing, the Lord would deliver them: and this was the faith of Moroni; and his heart did glory in it; not in the shedding of blood, but in doing good, in preserving his people; yea, in keeping the commandments of God; yea, and resisting iniquity.

They also believed God would tell them where to go to defend themselves. If they did this, the Lord would save them. This was what Moroni believed. He was happy about this. He was not happy about killing. He was happy about doing good and keeping his people safe. He was happy about keeping God’s commandments and fighting against evil.

They also believed God would show them where to position themselves against their enemies, and by doing this, the Lord would deliver them. This was Moroni’s faith, and his heart gloried in it—not in bloodshed, but in doing good, in protecting his people, in keeping God’s commandments, and in resisting evil.
