It is the gateway that leads to life and happiness.

It is the means of bringing back man into harmony with God.

To appreciate this great doctrine we must understand it.

Therefore let us reason together in the light of the divine Word, that we may understand.
[178]The most precious thing possessed by any creature is life, because without life everything else would be useless and could not be enjoyed.
Even now we observe that a man with but a small spark of life clings to that with desperation.

It is only when a creature is perfect and enjoying complete life and the right to it that he can properly glorify Jehovah, his great Creator.
