2 Nephi 31 is an amazing chapter. It is full of principles of repentance, baptism, redemption, and salvation. The part I love most about this chapter is that Nephi emphasizes enduring to the end so much. It really wouldn't make sense just to say that baptism saves a person. To say so trivializes the importance of the Atonement. If all we needed to do was be baptized, then why would the Savior come to die for us? Why would He make that great sacrifice? He made that sacrifice so that we can repent and endure, because baptism alone is not enough.
Another thing I loved about this chapter was the point that Nephi made that the works of God are plain. He has a gospel that is easy to understand. He doesn't work by darkness, nor through complicated means. The gospel is plain and true, easy to understand.
Anyways. This chapters is really, really good, and I'd really encourage you to read it!
