How do we know that 2 Peter is written to believers?

Answered in 1 source

The text explicitly indicates that it is written to those who have obtained like precious faith.

In 2 Peter 1:1, Peter identifies his audience as those who have obtained like precious faith, which clearly delineates that he is addressing believers. The repeated use of the pronoun 'us' throughout the letter further underscores this point. Peter's intent was to remind and edify those who have faith in Christ, differentiating them from those who do not believe. This clarity of audience is essential for understanding the promises and warnings contained within the epistle.
