Which Life are you referring to? Is it the conscious existence of ALL living things or that we receive from Jesus:

31 but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
John 20:31

Before you answer, remember that the Bible says that sinners are:
... dead in trespasses and sins;Ephesians 2:1

Life and death are two extremes!
So the opposite of life is death.
If I am not alive I am dead.
Dead or alive, no middle ground and no way can one strandle death and life.
If one is not alive he's dead!
