Take X=G and let g act by left multiplication Lg​(x)=gx. Each Lg​ is a permutation, with inverse Lg−1​. Associativity gives Lg​Lh​=Lgh​, so g↦Lg​ is a group homomorphism into Sym(G). If Lg​ is the identity permutation, evaluating it at the identity element gives g=1. Thus
G↪Sym(G),g⟼Lg​.​

This is the Cayley theorem, realized by the left regular action, which is a faithful group action.
