Peter's reflection on the events that he and John and James witnessed on the Mount of Transfiguration underscores the truth that Christianity, uniquely among the religions of the world, is based on objective historical facts. The event of which Peter spoke in this text actually occurred. He saw it with his own eyes and heard the voice of God from Heaven with his own ears. The point of the text is that the Gospel compels belief because it is the record of that which actually happened. It is not the product of some kind of private vision. False religions are all the result of some kind of private vision or revelation. The Gospel is the good news that Jesus actually did enter the world through the Virgin Birth, and that He did actually live in complete perfection and died on the cross to redeem His people from their sins. The Gospel is built on reality. False religion is built on deceit and fraud.
