After years of war and battles, the Lamanites wanted to do a prisoner exchange. Moroni responded with a message explaining the terms under which he was willing to do the exchange, but in the meantime, he also included some words to show his faith.
"But, as the Lord liveth, our armies shall come upon you except ye withdraw, and ye shall soon be visited with death, for we will retain our cities and our lands; yea, and we will maintain our religion and the cause of our God." (Alma 54:10)
Moroni simply expresses his confidence that they would win any battle, and that they are on God's side.
It's a simple message, but it shows how faithful Moroni was to his ideals and kept his faith. And frankly, why not. Up to this point, they had been very successful when they followed God's instructions.
Hopefully I can always show that level of confidence that I am on the Lord's errand, and that I will find success in doing His will.
