What does it mean that this is no fable?

Answered in 1 source

Peter emphasizes that the Christian message is based on true historical events and not fabricated stories (2 Peter 1:16).

When Peter states, 'this is no fable,' he underscores the authenticity of the Christian faith as grounded in real experiences rather than fabricated tales. This assertion in 2 Peter 1:16 positions the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as historical events witnessed by reliable individuals. Such statements counter critics who dismiss Christianity as mere mythology, reinforcing that the foundation of the faith rests on proven events grounded in history, making it trustworthy for believers who seek assurance in their salvation and relationship with Christ.
