Helaman 10

Nephi had many qualities that the Lord was very pleased with and for which the Lord blessed him greatly:

4 Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness declared the word, which I have given unto thee, unto this people. And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine own life, but hast sought my will, and to keep my commandments.

One that particularly impresses me is that Lord notes that Nephi had not feared the people. He sought the Lord's will in spite of whatever fears he had and in spite of the negative reaction of the people.
