God makes it possible for us to continue with life (Acts 17:28). He gives us the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe and the land where we live (Acts 14: 15-17). And he does it in a way that makes life pleasant. However, to enjoy life to the fullest, we have to know the laws of God and obey them.
RESPECT THE LIFE
God wants us to respect life, both our own and that of others. Let's see an example. Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, became infuriated with Abel, his younger brother. Jehovah warned him that his anger could lead him to commit a grave sin, but Cain ignored him. 'He attacked his brother and killed him.' The story goes on to show that Jehovah punished him for that murder
Thousands of years later, Jehovah gave laws to the Israelites to serve him as he wished. In view of the fact that he delivered them through the prophet Moses, the set of these laws is usually called the Mosaic Law. Well, the Mosaic Law contained this mandate: "You must not murder". This prohibition showed the Israelites that God values human life and that every person must value the life of their fellow human beings.
HOW SHOULD WE SEE ABORTION IN LIFE?
What does God think of the babies that are still in their mother's womb? The Mosaic Law indicated that the death of a creature that had not yet been born should not be caused. That's right: that life also has a lot of value for Jehovah; That means it's wrong to abort.
To respect life, we must also have a good attitude towards our neighbor. The Bible says: "Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life as a permanent thing in him." If we want to live forever, we must eliminate from our hearts the hatred we may feel for other people, because hatred is the root of almost all violent acts. It is essential that we learn to love one another.
VALUING LIFE
What can be said about respect for our own life? Usually, no one wants to die, but many people put their lives in danger out of pure pleasure. For example, they use tobacco, chew coca leaves or take drugs without medical reasons. These substances harm health and in many cases cause death. Therefore, the person who has these vices does not consider life sacred. In the eyes of God, they are filthy, dirty habits. To serve him as he wishes, we have to leave them. It may be very difficult for us, but Jehovah can give us the necessary help. He values very much all the efforts we make to treat our life for what it is: a very valuable gift from him.
If we respect life, we will always worry about safety. We will not be careless or take risks for pleasure or emotion. We will not drive the car recklessly or engage in violent or dangerous sports. One of the laws that Jehovah gave to ancient Israel said: "In case you build a new house, then you have to make a parapet [or small wall] to your roof [or roof], so that you do not place over your house the fault of blood because someone will fall from it "(Deuteronomy 22: 8). That law contains a principle by which you must be guided. For example, if your house has stairs, keep them in good condition so that no one falls and suffers serious injuries. If you have a car, make sure it is in good condition. Do not allow your home or your vehicle to be a danger to you or to others.
How does the Creator see the life of animals? He also considers it sacred. He allows killing animals to obtain food and clothing or to protect human life. But whoever treats them with cruelty or kills them for sport is acting badly and shows that they do not consider life sacred (Proverbs 12:10).

MY WAY OF SEEING LIFE
How grateful we are to our loving God for the gift of life! Gratitude should prompt us to tell people that if they have faith in the sacrifice of Jesus, they can live forever. And we will do it with enthusiasm, because, like Jehovah, we consider that the life of our fellow men is very valuable. If we fulfill that responsibility faithfully, we can say, like the apostle Paul: "I am clean of the blood of every man, because I have not shrunk from telling them all the counsel of God." Indeed, one of the best ways to show how much we respect life and blood is by speaking to our neighbor about God and his purposes.
