Alma 34 is such a powerful chapter.  Amulek is teaching the people the gospel and he puts it into such simple terms.  I love it!  He teaches a lot about the plan of salvation and it is so good.

I really liked in verse 33 where Amulek says:

"...for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed."

This really puts our time here on earth in perspective.  If we are not bettering ourselves here then we are wasting this precious probationary state.  Earth life is when we can choose who we want to become.  How are we living our lives?  Are we living them in a way that will make us happy for eternity?
