Jehovah’s goodwill toward his earthly creations was expressed at the time he brought Adam and Eve forth. To the animal kinds created on the fifth day, God’s blessing was a pronouncement of his purpose regarding them. (Ge 1:22) .—Ge 1:28; 2:9; 5:2.
They were to rear perfectly healthy sons and daughters in the earthly Paradise. As their beloved children grew older, these would share with them in being fruitful and in doing pleasant garden work to maintain that Paradise. With all the animals in subjection to them, humankind would be very contented. Think of the joy of extending the boundaries of the garden of Eden so that eventually the entire earth would be a paradise! We were to enjoy life with perfect children in such a beautiful earthly home, without any concerns about growing old and dying.
That promise is still given to us today. The meek will possess the earth, and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” Later in the same psalm, we read: “The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.” (Ps. 37:11, 29) and Revelation promised Rev 21:4 Sickness and death would be no more.

The ultimate value and significance of life on earth is to realize we are not this body that dies, we are not even the mind that we cannot find, we are the Divine Soul. This is the ultimate source - the source is Divine energy, Spirit, Atman, whatever you call it and the purpose of our life on earth is to realize who we truly are and ultimately to be liberated from the cycle of death and rebirth and be united with God. For everybody who is mortal, death is certain. The body dies but we are not the body that dies, we are the Soul that departs at death. This is our goal - to realize we are the Soul; this is our ultimate destination -liberation and unification with the Divine.
