i don't think they serve for life but more they serve for a many number of years,and then retire. but the federal government appoints them to those terms.  
Federal judges serve for life because it guarantees the separation of powers.  If these judges didn't serve for life they could leave any time, which would lead to different decisions. The government appoints the federal judges to these terms

Hope I helped ya!!! xD
