Why Children Lie: What Scripture Reveals

David M. Tyler, PhD.

Featured Excerpt

Children do not begin lying suddenly or without cause. Lying develops as part of a pattern in the heart. What appears as a behavior problem is often the outward expression of deeper desires, fears, and beliefs. Understanding why children lie helps parents address more than words, it helps them shepherd the heart.

Lying rarely develops in isolation. As explained in What Causes Teenage Rebellion: Why It Is Rarely Sudden.

Children lie for reasons that are deeply connected to the condition of the heart. While situations vary, several patterns consistently emerge.

What parents often see as isolated incidents are usually part of a larger pattern. As explained in What Parents Often Miss Before Rebellion Becomes Visible, small shifts in thinking and response quietly shape long-term direction.

1. Lying to Avoid Consequences

One of the most common reasons children lie is fear. A child anticipates punishment or disapproval and chooses deception as a way to escape it. In that moment, the child is making a decision:
“Avoiding consequences matters more than telling the truth.”

Fear becomes the controlling influence. Instead of responding in honesty, the child responds to protect himself. This reveals something important, not just that the child fears consequences, but that they are prioritizing immediate relief over righteousness.

This is why addressing lying requires more than correcting behavior. As explained in Teaching the Fear of the Lord Before Crisis Comes, lasting change comes through shaping the heart early, not simply reacting to behavior later.

2. Lying to Gain Approval or Advantage

Some children lie not to escape trouble, but to gain something, approval, attention, or a desired outcome. This may appear in exaggerated stories, shifting blame, or presenting themselves in a more favorable light. At the heart level, the desire is: “I want to be seen a certain way.” “I want something I don’t currently have.”

Rather than trusting God’s design for truth and integrity, the child begins to use deception as a tool to shape outcomes.

3. Lying to Hide Sin

As children grow, lying often becomes more intentional. It is used to cover actions they know are wrong. This reflects a pattern seen from the beginning. In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve did not only sin, they attempted to hide.

Children follow the same pattern. When wrongdoing is hidden, lying becomes a protective layer over the behavior.

4. Lying as a Learned Pattern

If lying is not addressed at the heart level, it becomes easier over time. What once required hesitation becomes more natural. A child may begin with small distortions, partial truths, omissions, excuses. Over time, those patterns can solidify into habitual deception.

This is why early discernment matters. What appears small is often formative.

The Danger of Treating Only the Surface

If parents respond only to the behavior, punishing the lie without addressing the heart, they may reduce the symptom without correcting the root. In some cases, children simply become more careful not to get caught.

The goal of biblical parenting is not merely behavior management. It is heart formation. Ephesians 6:4 instructs parents to bring children up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. This includes helping them understand not only what is wrong, but why they respond the way they do.

How Parents Can Respond Biblically

A biblical response to lying moves beyond correction into shepherding.

1. Address the Lie Clearly

Truth matters. Lying should not be minimized or ignored.

Children need to understand that God values truth because He is truth (John 14:6). Lying is not a small issue, it is a departure from God’s character. Clarity is important:

“That was not true.”
“God calls us to speak truthfully.”
2. Help the Child See the Heart

After addressing the behavior, guide the child to consider what was happening internally. Ask simple, direct questions:

“What were you wanting when you said that?”
“What were you afraid of?”
“Why did it feel easier to say that instead of telling the truth?”
This helps the child begin to recognize patterns in their own thinking.

3. Teach the Value of Truth Over Outcome

Children often lie because they believe truth will cost them something. Parents must consistently teach:

Honesty matters more than avoiding consequences
Truth matters more than getting what you want
Integrity matters more than appearance
Over time, this reshapes how children evaluate decisions.

4. Create an Environment Where Truth Is Not Punished Disproportionately

If a child believes that telling the truth always leads to severe or unpredictable reactions, fear will continue to drive deception. This does not mean removing consequences. It means ensuring that discipline is measured, consistent, and not driven by parental anger.

Children should learn:
“Telling the truth is always the right response, even when it is difficult.”

5. Point Them to the Gospel

Ultimately, honesty is not sustained by rules alone. It is rooted in transformation. Children need to understand:

God sees all things (Hebrews 4:13)
Sin can be confessed and forgiven (1 John 1:9)
Change is possible through Christ
When a child lies, it becomes an opportunity to point them not only to correction, but to grace.

Lying and the Direction of the Heart

Lying rarely appears in isolation. It is often connected to other developing patterns, fear, desire for control, resistance to authority. This is why it fits within a broader trajectory.

What begins as small distortions can, if left unaddressed, become part of a larger pattern of resistance and independence from truth. Recognizing this early allows parents to respond with clarity rather than waiting until patterns are entrenched.

A Call to Steady, Thoughtful Parenting

Addressing lying requires patience. It is not corrected in a single conversation. Parents must be willing to:

Observe patterns over time
Speak consistently about truth
Engage the heart, not just the behavior
This is not a quick process, but it is a meaningful one.

Conclusion: More Than Words

When a child lies, something deeper is being revealed. It is an opportunity to see what the child is trusting, fearing, or pursuing. Rather than responding only with frustration, parents can respond with purpose.

Truth is not simply a rule to enforce, it is a reflection of God’s character and a foundation for life. Helping a child walk in truth is part of helping them learn to walk with God.

The Productive Purpose of Trials in Biblical Counseling

By: Rush Witt
April 1, 2026
Joy, Maturity, Suffering, Trials
In James 1:1-4, we encounter a central truth for our ministry to the suffering: the necessity and potential joy hidden within our trials. God uses these hardships not merely to challenge us as sufferers, but also to increase our joy in Him. As counselors, we find ourselves uniquely positioned to help people see their trials as the providential backdrop against which their faith is refined, deepened, and brightened in special ways.

James opens his letter by identifying himself not by his likely pedigree as the brother of Jesus, but as “a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ” (James 1:1, CSB). This humble recognition underscores his role as a messenger of the grace that transformed him. Writing to the “twelve tribes in dispersion,” James addresses believers facing various trials—the same kinds of multifaceted suffering we encounter in the counseling room today.

Understanding this context allows us to lead sufferers to the central theme: God uses trials to increase our joy in Him. Certainly, this truth often feels counterintuitive to a heart in pain, yet it offers the most profound insight into the nature of faith and the character of our sovereign God.

Glory follows afflictions, not as the day follows the night but as the spring follows the winter; for the winter prepares the earth for the spring, so do afflictions sanctified prepare the soul for glory.[1] — Richard Sibbes
Joy in Trials?

James 1:2-4 issues a striking command: “Consider it great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials.” For the counselor, this is not an invitation to encourage a stoic smile or a denial of pain; it is a call to help the sufferer reorient the heart’s perspective. Trials are not meaningless hardships; they are purposeful instruments used by God to bring us to a better place.

When facing trials, our hearts often recoil. But James urges a supernatural “consideration.” Because trials are “various,” they touch every area of human experience—from external adversity to internal struggle. In the gospel, we can help ourselves and others see these through the lens of divine sovereignty and loving providence. Joy, in this context, does not dismiss the gravity of the sorrow; rather, it acknowledges God’s power to transform hardships into opportunities for redemptive growth.

James explains that “the testing of your faith produces endurance” (James 1:3). We recognize that testing is never arbitrary. It serves to refine and purify, much like gold in the fire.

Trials do not create the impurities of the heart—they expose what is already present. They illuminate our functional hopes, our deepest fears, and our misplaced loves. This exposure is a grace, as it enables the sufferer to move beyond mere survival toward a steadfast, courageous faith marked by a profound reliance on Christ. Endurance is the fruit of a heart that has learned to rest in the gospel while under pressure.

Is it not an unreasonable speech for a man at midnight to say, “It will never be day?” So it is an unreasonable thing for a man that is in trouble to say, “O Lord, I shall never get free of this; it will always be thus with me.”[2]— Richard Sibbes
The Goal: Maturity and Union with Christ

James concludes with an exhortation to allow endurance to “have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing” (James 1:4). This speaks to the ultimate goal of our counseling: to see people made whole and brought to the maturity of God’s good design.

Often, we find ourselves painfully scorning the thought of growth and change that come through trials. In these moments, do we not in some small way lack the vision James gives here? He points out the process-oriented nature of God’s work in our lives. The Lord changes and moves us to the condition and place he has planned. What a difficult concept to embrace in faith and trust. We do not say to the young rose, “Why don’t you have leaves? Why are you not red? Why do you struggle to stand upright?” We know the rose is still moving through the process of change. But for some reason, we struggle to see the same in the Christian life. The noise of casting judgements around during trials distracts us from seeing the bright transformation happening in the unseen.

Maturity in Christ does not mean reaching a state of flawless performance. It means yielding to the process of sanctification that God orchestrates through suffering. As we walk with people through trials, we help them ask two vital, heart-level questions: “What does this trial reveal that I should put off?” and “What does God intend for me to gain in Christ?”

To “consider it great joy” is an intentional, spiritual, and practiced act of worship. It requires actively engaging with our circumstances by looking through them to the God who is behind them, working for our ultimate joy in Him. As biblical counselors, we assist people in seeking God’s perspective, praying for insight into His work within them. We help them recognize that their trials are not obstacles to avoid at any cost, but in many cases, the very means by which our ability to know and delight in Him is deepened, and our capacity for gospel happiness expanded.

We have oftentimes occasion to bless God more for crosses than for our comforts. There is a blessing hidden in the worst things to God’s children, as there is a cross in the best things to the wicked; to the saints there is a blessing in death, a blessing in sickness, a blessing in the hatred of our enemies, a blessing in all losses whatsoever. Therefore in our afflictions we should not only justify God but glorify and magnify Him for His mercies, that rather than we should be condemned with the world, He will graciously take this course.[3] — Richard Sibbes
Questions for Reflection (to Ask in Trial)

What specific desires or fears is this trial exposing in your heart right now?
How are you tempted to judge your own slow progress instead of trusting God’s patient work of sanctification?
What is one hidden blessing you can find in this trial that draws you closer to Christ?

5 Hard Questions Kids Ask About Easter (And How to Answer)
Lisa Rowell

Kids don’t set up a time to hold deep theological discussions with us. Instead, at any given moment, they can launch a tricky question our way before we’ve even had our first cup of coffee (or before we’ve even figured out the answer for ourselves)! This is especially true during Easter when symbols of crosses and empty tombs spark curiosity.
As parents, we want to nurture our children’s faith, but sometimes, their profound questions about death, sacrifice, and resurrection can be particularly challenging to answer in child-friendly ways. But the good news about the Good News is that you don’t need a theology degree to answer with confidence and grace! Here are five common questions kids ask about Easter and simple, age-appropriate ways to respond.

1. “Why did Jesus have to die?”
This question often comes when children first begin to understand the Easter story. Using everyday examples can help kids grasp this concept.
The simple answer: Jesus died to take the punishment for our sins so we could be close to God.
What to say: “When we do wrong things, there are consequences. Sin—the wrong things we do—separates us from God because God is perfect and cannot be around sin. God loved us so much that He sent Jesus to make a way for us to be with Him forever. Jesus took on the consequences of our sins for us. It’s like if you broke something valuable and couldn’t pay for it, but someone who loves you stepped in and paid the full price. The Bible tells us in Romans 5:8 that ‘While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.’ Because of what Jesus did, we can now be forgiven and have a close relationship with God again.”
2. “What does it mean that Jesus rose from the dead?”
Resurrection can be complicated for kids to grasp because it’s so different from anything they’ve seen or experienced in real life.

The simple answer: Jesus defeated death to show us that God’s power gives us eternal life.
What to say: “Jesus’ resurrection means that He came back to life after He died. It’s like when you plant a seed in the ground. It looks like it’s gone forever, but then it grows into something new and alive, like a flower or a tree. Jesus’ resurrection is like that, but even more amazing! The Bible says in Matthew 28:6, ‘He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.’
“Jesus came back in His real body. The disciples could touch Him, and He even ate food with them. When Jesus rose from the dead, it showed that His sacrifice for our sins worked! God accepted it, and now we can be forgiven. Jesus’ resurrection demonstrates His victory over sin and death, not just for Himself but for believers, too.”
3. “Where is Jesus now?”
Children think in very literal, physical terms. So they might wonder how Jesus can be in heaven and with us at the same time.
The simple answer: Jesus is in heaven with God, but He is also always with us through the Holy Spirit.
What to say: “The Bible tells us in Hebrews 12:2 that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the throne of God in heaven. But Jesus also sent us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit helps us feel Jesus’ love and learn to follow Him. The Holy Spirit is like the wind. We can’t see the wind, but we can feel it when it brushes against our skin or blows through our hair. We can see what it does, like making trees sway or kites fly.

“When we pray, we can talk to Jesus even though we can’t see Him. He hears us and helps us, just like a friend who’s always with you. Even though we can’t see Jesus, we can feel His love in our hearts and see how He helps us every day.”
4. “What happens when people die?”
This question often comes after a child experiences loss for the first time, whether it’s a family member, friend, or even a pet.
The simple answer: If we believe in Jesus, we will be with Him forever in heaven.
What to say: “When people who love Jesus die, their bodies stop working, but the special part inside them that makes them who they are—their soul—goes to be with Him in heaven. Jesus told us in John 14:2-3, ‘I am going to prepare a place for you… so that you may be where I am.’
“Heaven is a safe place where there is no more sadness, sickness, or pain. We miss people when they go to heaven because we can’t see them or talk to them right now. And it’s okay to feel sad about that. God understands our sadness. But if we believe in Jesus, we know we will see them again someday in heaven.”
5. “How can I get to heaven when I die? How can I be sure I will go to heaven?”

This might be the most important question of all, as it gives us the opportunity to share the gospel with our kids.
The simple answer: By believing in Jesus, asking Him to forgive your sins, and trusting Him as your Lord and Savior.
What to say: “Jesus promises in John 3:16 that ‘whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’ We don’t get to go to heaven by living a perfect life or doing a certain number of good things. None of us could ever be good enough on our own. We get to heaven by believing that Jesus died for our sins and rose again and by asking Him to be our friend forever.
When we believe in Jesus and ask Him to forgive us, He promises to do it! The Bible tells us in 1 John 1:9 that ‘If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins.’ Once Jesus is your Savior, nothing can separate you from His love. Would you like to talk to Jesus about that right now? We could pray together, and you can tell Him that you believe in Him and want Him to be your Savior.”
Simple prayer of salvation: “Dear Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and that You came back to life. I’m sorry for the wrong things I’ve done. Please forgive me. I want You to be my Savior and the leader of my life. Thank You for loving me and for the gift of heaven. Help me to follow You every day. Amen.”

Helping Your Child Build a Strong Faith, One Question at a Time
Each time our children ask big (or little) questions about Jesus, it’s an invitation to deepen their faith. It’s okay if you stumble through the answer or don’t offer perfectly polished theological explanations. Your authentic answers, paired with Scripture, will plant seeds that the Holy Spirit will nurture. And, hey, give yourself permission to say: “That’s a great question! Let me think about how to explain it better,” or even, “Let’s look that up in the Bible together.”

How to Run with Endurance the Race Set Before You
Shawna Sullivan

Early on, I learned to attach my worth to my performance. Receiving accolades and awards based on grades and extracurricular achievements, I ran hard from one accomplishment to the next. It wasn’t until motherhood that I realized I was drowning with little to show for my efforts. In addition, church planting and financial stress added to a deeper level of exhaustion.
It wasn’t that I was busy doing bad things, but over time, I grew weary of all the good things. I longed for the greater stamina required to run this race of faith well.

Without a doubt, life with Christ requires endurance. We accept the gift of faith, yet our sanctifying journey feels less like a gift in the moment. Hebrews 12 explains to us how believers are to keep going and not grow weary. So, if you’re feeling exhaustion set in, if sitting this season out on the sidelines sounds tempting, allow these words to replenish, strengthen, and encourage you for the good work ahead.
1. Identify the roots of unrest
Even in a season of joy, we may be tempted to source our happiness and contentment in things that fade, slowly weaning us off our dependence on the Lord for all things. Operating out of our flesh over walking with the Spirit is a sure way to tire early.
Or perhaps the things we most deeply delight in have gradually assumed a greater position in our lives than the Lord himself. Over time, weariness resides at the soul level and leads to greater unrest.
In Hebrews 12:1, the author begins by saying first and foremost to “lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely”.
So, as we seek to continue this race of faith toward the finish line of heaven, take a moment to identify the roots of unrest in your life that leave you limping. What area of your life feels the most restless? Is there an unanswered prayer or unrepentant sin weighing heavily? Is the current pace of life a distraction from intentional time spent in prayer and reading God’s word?

Pray for God to help you unroot the patterns that leave you in a state of unrest and lay aside the stumbling blocks for the path ahead.
2. Establish rhythms of rest
The creation account in Genesis introduces us to the concept of rest in scripture. God worked for six days, formed the heavens and earth, established dry land and water, and then separated day from night. His creative handiwork miraculously breathed order into us as he formed us in his own image and abundantly provided for our every need.
Then God rested.
It’s tempting to place our own finite energy on God and relate to His need for rest, but the truth is God didn’t rest because he needed rest. He didn’t rest because He was burned out from overcommitting and a lack of margin in a hurried schedule.
No, God rested because rest invited delight. Through resting, God pleased in the work of His hands. So, too for us, rest is not simply a yearly family vacation, but a continuous, intentional time set aside to delight in the gifts God has given.
Nature. Family. Quiet. Stillness. Feasting. Reading. Connection. Adventure. There is no one right way to rest, but the need to rest remains. Work and rest are both designed, ordained, and modeled by God. Because it is good for us to rest, establishing healthy rhythms of rest is paramount for endurance.

In his book “Ruthless Elimination of Hurry”, John Mark Comer expands on incorporating Sabbath rhythms specifically into our weekly schedule and suggests it is not limited to a day of attending church. He proposes that these rhythms of rest provide space “to delight in the world, in our lives in it, and above all, in God himself.”
Resting does not always mean doing nothing. On the contrary, rest is found when we are stewarding our gifts, passions, time, and money in a way that causes our heart to grow in delight of our Creator.
What rhythms of rest help you intentionally create space to pause and delight more? As you accept the gift of rest, your intimacy with God will grow increasingly sweet and will strengthen you along the road of discipleship.
3. Hold fast to your enduring Savior
Lastly, we see in Hebrews 12:2 that the key to endurance is beholding our enduring Savior. “Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Scripture testifies to the faithfulness of God. Despite idolatry, exile, and war, we see His Word prophesy to the steadfast love of God in all seasons. Your life and mine are also living testimonies of God’s faithfulness. It is because of His enduring love, grace, and mercy that we are strengthened for the steps ahead.

As we seek to run this race of faith in a decaying world and aging body, it is incredibly encouraging to note that our Savior also endures with us through pain and suffering alike. If we desire to endure the marathon of faith, may we rejoice even in suffering because, as Romans 5:3 explains, even “suffering produces endurance.”
Our enduring Savior is always present and promises to answer our cries for help with consistent compassion and constant care. How are you holding fast to your enduring Savior in this season?
Feeling weary is expected along the way, but may we join Saint Augustine in our declaration that, “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
As you carefully consider the roots of unrest in this season and seek to establish healthy rhythms of rest, may you also remember that your truest rest is and will always be in God alone. Now, press on.

Parent/Child Conversation Prompts
Katie Kenny Phillips

Katie Kenny Phillips, author of iDisciple’s God, You Make Me Feel children’s series, understands that children need to see God’s love put into practice at home each day. Oftentimes for parents, it can be challenging to create theological lingo for toddlers, so Katie has created several prompts that serve as understandable, proactive conversation starters about God’s love:
1. Narrate The Gospel for your kids. Some of the best parenting advice I ever got was from a friend in ministry. She said, “The good news is, you’re probably already doing things in your life that are meant to bring God glory. It’s as simple as narrating it for your kids.” For example, when you make that meal for a friend who just had a baby, your little ones are most likely going with you when you drop it off. It’s easy to say, “Do you know why we’re making dinner for our friends? We’re showing God’s love for them by bringing them something to eat because they’re busy with their new baby.”

I remember a time that our good friends told us their dog had died. I gathered my kids into the minivan, went through the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru, and drove straight to their house. I told the kids: “We’re going to our friends and bringing donuts because we love them and they’re sad about Daisy. God wants us to be sad with our friends when they are sad and to show them love while they’re in the middle of it.” Simple. We can easily point our kids to the REASON we’re doing what we’re ALREADY doing.
Practice narrating daily activities with your kids:
“Do you know why we’re making dinner for our friends? We’re showing God’s love for them by bringing them something to eat because they’re busy with their new baby.”
“God wants us to be sad with our friends when they are sad and to show them love while they’re in the middle of it.”
2. Have fun getting the kids involved in short, impromptu prayers. When you see a beautiful sunrise in the morning, say, “Look at the beautiful colors God used to paint the sky today!” Or when you hear sirens for ambulances or police, throw up a quick prayer like, “God, please help the people who are hurt!” As we are driving around in our cars or walking in our community, we have countless opportunities to point to things many people overlook. This is a great way to get kids in the habit of opening their eyes to see God at work — and that God can help.

Kids quickly start doing this on their own. When one of my kids was 2 ½, we were driving in the neighborhood and saw some roadkill on the side of the road. I heard his little voice whisper under his breath, “Dear God, please make more squirrels. Amen.”
Practice involving kids in talking to God:
“Look at the beautiful colors God used to paint the sky today!”
“God, please help the people who are hurt!”
3. Make prayer time fun at bedtime. Little ones thrive on routine and can you imagine a better one than getting them in the habit of talking to their Heavenly Father? Just as bath time and toothbrushing and snuggling together before bed are a part of our nightly rituals, we can start incorporating fun prayer time. It doesn’t have to be long or complicated. Don’t underestimate the power of praying for mommy and daddy and cookies and bellybuttons. And take special requests from your kids! You might be surprised at what they are thankful for or what they want to bring before God.
There was a time my toddler wanted to thank God for triangles. Absolutely! Shapes, sure! The alphabet, of course! Your pet worm in the garden? Let’s thank God for that! My goal was to make talking with God something they enjoyed. And for them to understand there was nothing God didn’t want to hear about — silly or not.

Practice involving kids into your bedtime prayer:
Ask for prayer requests.
Ask what they are thankful for.
4. Utilize solid Christian children’s resources like books, music and apps to help reinforce the message. Read books at bedtime that tell kids how their Heavenly Father feels about them like God, You Make Me Feel Special. Play music such as Seeds Worship that put Scripture to music.
We listened to VeggieTales music so much when my kids were little, that now, when I hear certain songs in church, I can almost hear Bob the Tomato’s voice! But I love that because it means we were surrounding ourselves with messages and music about God in ways my children really took to heart.
Practice involving children spiritual growth resources into your day:
Find children’s books that echo your beliefs.
Play fun kids’ music throughout the day.
5. And don’t forget to take care of yourself spiritually! You’ve probably heard the saying: “You can’t pour from an empty cup!” Take advantage of the amazing iDisciple Growth Plans and devotionals like Find Rest and Find Peace. Kids also learn by seeing us pray and read the Word. We may have little ones sitting around our feet arguing over toys or spilling their snacks, but trust me, it’s beautiful when they see us with our Bibles and making our not-so-quiet time a priority.

Back when I had a toddler and a new baby, I remember feeling so anxious every night around bedtime. What if the toddler gets sick? Will the baby sleep tonight? What if the baby wakes up the toddler? Will I ever sleep again? Help! And then it struck me: I was feeling so stressed and exhausted, but I had not taken even a few moments to read God’s Word that day. It had been a routine of mine that was quickly shoved aside when life got busy — but when I spent a few minutes reconnecting with God, it made me feel so much better. Was my life still non-stop busy with very little sleep? Yes. But reading the Bible gave me a fresh word each day that my soul desperately needed.
Practice visibly showing your kids your spiritual life:
Talk to your kids about your quiet time.
Let them listen to your worship music.
