Being reborn in the Spirit of God through faith in Jesus Christ does not automatically make you wise. We have to replace the old thoughts and behavior with the new mind of Christ.
1Co 3:19 I say this because the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, "He catches those who think they are wise in their own clever traps."
The Bible is our book of truth. As soldiers in the Lord's army we need to go through basic training. Our enemies are the old flesh nature, the world system and the devil. Jesus has won the victory and we must learn his way to overcome. Romans 12 is a good starting place.
Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
The word of God cleanses our minds with good thoughts and the way that we should go. He opens our eyes to what is good and acceptable to him.
Psa 26:2 Prove me, O LORD, and try me; test my heart and my mind.
Jas 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
Jas 1:6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
Follow the way of peace. God will guide you in his word.
