We should always keep this in mind that all the substances are made up of atoms. In case of living cells these atoms have combined to make up various molecules which have combined to form various organelles and ultimately cells. But in non living substances this interaction between atoms and molecules has not taken place and hence they are lifeless. Any thing below the cellular level of organisation is non living and does not show characters shown by living organisms. Take the example of viruses which are non living till the time it does not acquire a cellular machinery. This is the reason why cell is called the basic unit of life.
