(1)\ \implies\ (2)

Consider the map \phi:G\times X\to X,\ \phi((g,x))=\psi(g)(x).


(2)\ \implies\ (1)

For each g\in G, define \psi_g:X\to X by \psi_g(x)=g\cdot x for all x\in X. Then \psi_g\in S(X) for all g\in G (\psi_g is a bijection from X to itself) and the required homomorphism \psi:G\to S(X) is defined by \psi(g)=\psi_g for all g\in G (\psi_{hg}=\psi_h\psi_g for all h,g\in G).
