Helaman 8:25 -- On Spiritual Loot Boxes

"But behold, ye have rejected the truth, and rebelled against your holy God; and even at this time, instead of laying up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where nothing doth corrupt, and where nothing can come which is unclean, ye are heaping up for yourselves wrath against the day of judgment."
Helaman 8:25


Yikes. Obviously the whole thing is symbolic, but the idea of laying up treasure in heaven is kind of cool... cashing in our good works for some shiny spiritual loot boxes. However, the alternative sounds pretty bad. Today, let's be extra sure that we aren't piling up nicely-wrapped packages of wrath to gift to ourselves after this life. Since we have to lay up something for ourselves after this life, let's make sure it is something we are going to want.
