Driving on a hot day, water appears in the distance across the pavement. But when you arrive the small pond has moved further ahead. You will never reach the water because it is a mirage. The water can never fill your radiator, it can never cool you down, you can never get a drink from it.
Faith without action is as helpful and as real as that mirage. If we say we have faith but do not live, breath and make our decisions based on God's word, our faith is simply empty words (James 2:14-17).
