The Gita was taught to transform Arjuna who had suddenly become a Dhîna (weak) into a Dhîra, a heroic warrior.-
Further, In order to dispel Arjuna’s delusion that he was the killer and his kinsmen were going to be killed, Krishna taught the Gita –that teaches the knowledge of Atma. Lord Krishna says that there is none who kills, none who will be killed. It is the body that perishes and the Atma is imperishable. Above all death is the final end of man. "Jâtasya maranam druvam". Death is not in the hands of any one but God. So it is foolish to entertain such thoughts. The duty of a Kshatriya is to fight.-

The GITA was taught by Sri Krishna to Arjuna to dispel Arjuna's doubts about killing his own blood relatives on the battlefield.Seeing his own kith and kin armed and ready for battle Arjuna got depressed and lost courage to raise his weapons against his own near and dear ones.
Doing his duty as a warrior to fight evil and protect the good was more important than relationships.
'Dharmo Rakshati Rakshita' - Those who standby 'Good' staunchly and steadfastly as a matter of principle or duty, their goodness itself will protect them.
