Jehovah created living things on earth with a limited life span, except for humans. He gave them the unique prospect of never dying. However, Jehovah warned Adam: "As for tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for in the day that you eat from it you will certainly die." (Genesis 2:17) Had Adam and Eve obeyed Jehovah, they would not have died. It is reasonable to conclude that at some point, Jehovah would have allowed them to eat from "the tree of life." This would have meant that they had his assurance that they would "live forever." - GENESIS 3:22.
