Lehi, like Abraham, believes that God will keep his promises. Abraham believed God's promise of endless posterity, even though He commanded Abraham to kill his only son. A land of promise would mean nothing if Lehi had no posterity to inherit it. He is sure of the promised land, and so he is sure God will preserve his sons, just as God preserved Abraham's son. A promise of eternal life would be empty if we cannot be with the ones we love the most.

First Nephi 5:5
But behold, I have obtained a land of promise, in the which things I do rejoice; yea, and I know that the Lord will deliver my sons out of the hands of Laban, and bring them down again unto us in the wilderness.
