Newton's first law of motion consists of 2 parts:

The first part tells us that a body does not change its state of rest unless an unbalanced force is applied on it.FOR EXAMPLE:

A book lying on the desk remains at rest until someone lifts it.

The second part tells us that a body does not change its state of motion unless we apply a certain force on it to stop motion. FOR EXAMPLE

A ball is thrown on the ground comes to rest after covering some distance.it is because of following forces:

1. FORCE OF GRAVITY

2. FORCE OF FRICTION

3. AIR FRICTION

If these forces are eliminated then according to the NEWTON's FIRST LAW OF MOTION a body will remain in motion.

As newtons first law is the part of newtons second law then why you study newtons first law?
