4) To live in purity. (You can't live a life of holiness without being cleansed by God's Word - Psalm 119:0)
5) To obey God. (If you don't know what God's laws are, how can you obey them? - Psalm 119:33-35 / John 14:15)

9) To have peace (Only God can give you true peace but you can only find that in His Word - Psalm 119:165)
10) To distinguish good from evil (Culture is retreating from the truth of God by the hour, so it is impossible to know right from wrong without God's Word - Psalm 119:11)
