"[Wisdom] is a tree of life to those who grasp it." - Prov. 3:18.

Do you cherish the fact that you are alive? Have you ever thought about what a precious commodity life is? Parents pass it on to their children, and the combinations of traits and characteristics that are transmitted are of a tremendous variety because of the possibilities offered by the arrangement of genes. A long chain of circumstances that influenced your ancestors has led to your coming into existence. You should really be grateful for this, because if, for example, your father or mother or grandfather or grandmother had chosen a different spouse, you would never have been born. Or if your mother had conceived at a different time, she would have given birth to a different child, not you.
Jehovah is the source of life and the giver of life. (Ps. 36:9) He gave Adam and Eve, who were directly created by him, the ability to pass on life to their children. According to John 1:13, the apostle John points out that people are born according to the "will of the flesh", according to the will of their parents. Accordingly, they are not brought forth as individuals predestined by God, nor is God directly involved in the conception and birth of children. Time and circumstances determine the combinations of factors in the fertilized egg. Therefore, one should cherish being alive.
Jehovah attaches great importance to life. He is the happy God, and He also wants others to be happy. (1 Tim. 1:11) He rejoices when he sees others enjoying life. He therefore gives life to others for a purpose, and in his eyes it is very important that life is used properly. If people do not waste their lives on meaningless pursuits, but live as God would have them live, He will give them eternal life.
WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR LIFE
To maintain the body, we must constantly breathe, drink and eat. But much more is needed to stay alive. What is it? Well, man is the only earthly creation of God, created in God's image and likeness. (Genesis 1:26, 27) In contrast to the "mindless animals", man possessed the sublime qualities of love, justice, wisdom and other divine attributes. (2 Peter 2:12) He possessed spiritual abilities. He could reflect on why he had been created; he could learn more about his relationship with God, and the more he knew about God, the more the excellent qualities God had given him deepened in him.
Also, man's ability to acquire a knowledge of God in order to progress spiritually and religiously was unlimited, and God would have provided him with these necessary things from the immeasurable abundance of His treasury for all eternity. In this way, man would have been filled more and more with God's Spirit and wisdom. - Rom. 11:33-36.
The way man was made, he constantly needed spiritual strength from Jehovah to stay alive. He needed the spiritual connection with God. Even a perfect man could not live without spiritual food, even if all his material needs were met. When a person takes in spiritual food, God also provides him with material things, just as he provided Adam and Eve with them. - Genesis 1:29; 2:9; Matthew 6:33.
Bible readers know that Adam did not maintain his intimate relationship with God by remaining obedient and continuing to increase in wisdom and further his interest in spiritual things, but that he severed his connection with God and thereby brought sin and death upon mankind. (Rom. 5:12) However, God did not abandon his purpose with mankind. He will do for obedient people what he has set out to do. For this reason he had the Bible written, and for this reason he sent his Son as a sacrifice for the benefit of all who would serve him. - Rom. 5:8.
