Why is life important? Life is important because it is a gift from the God who loves you with a deep, caring love. When you begin to realize that God really loves you, you're free to walk humbly with God and to stop demanding more and to thank Him for His generous gifts. It builds you in a positive, uncomplaining spirit, and ultimately produces peace in your life. That peace enables you to take the necessary risks involved in engaging life with all its challenges and unknowns, through death, and out the other side to eternal life in heaven.

Why is life important? Because life is not an accident: it is a gift from God. Therefore, handle life with the greatest of care. On the day of judgment, God will hold you responsible for whether or not you treated your life and the lives of others with dignity.
