How do we know that Jesus did not appear to unbelievers?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture indicates that Jesus only appeared to His followers after His resurrection, not to unbelievers.

In the accounts of Jesus' resurrection appearances, it is striking that He chose not to reveal Himself to unbelievers. This omission highlights a theological principle: faith is not grounded simply in visible proof, but rather in the sovereign grace of God. The disciples, despite their proximity to Christ and His miraculous teachings, struggled with disbelief even after the resurrection. This demonstrates that evidence alone does not compel faith, which is a gift from God. Those who reject Him will encounter Him again at the judgment, where their eternal fates will have been sealed in their lifetime.
