Nothing, except we'd probably be following a polytheistic Roman religion.

We would still be dependent upon a group of High Priests performing endless and continuous animal sacrifices to atone for our sins. Jesus' final words on the cross were ... "It is finished" !!! Once and for all ... it was finally over - finished.
Jesus now, could go up into heaven at His Father's right hand and sit down. You notice within the Temple where all the animal sacrifices for sin were performed, you find no chair - no seat to sit on !

We would be still doing the animal sacrifices or God may have just wiped us out and started over. Since Jesus was perfect and totally devoted to his father, it was not likely to happen.

We would have missed out on fifteen hundred years of stupidity and oppression and cultural and scientific stagnation and could have amounted to something more than the superstitious warmongering idiots that we still are. Who knows how much better our world might have become by now? You can bet that it wouldn't have been any worse.

You mean "what would HAVE happened to us?"
Presumably, it was part of God's plan that Jesus die on the cross, so asking what would happen if he didn't is as absurd as the question, "Can God make a rock so big even He can't lift it?"

well, if you believe in christianity which i'm guessing you do since you're answering this question, if jesus dind't die on a cross years ago, there wouldn't be "us." the whole point of him dying is because we were sinful and he died to take our sins on him. if he hadn't...i think we either would've all died, or everyone who lived and died would go to hell because there wouldn't be a forgiveness and we would all have sin, not that we don't have sin right now, but there wouldn't be a way to get rid of it

simple nobody could have the oportunity to live eternally in earth(cause God made us here) , as soon as you died everything is over no hope...his death open an oportunity to regain what we lost in the Garden of Edem ...eternal life.
read Genesis 1:27-28 and see the purpose of humans in this planet to fill it of perfect beings no illness, no death,etc
The original purpose of God was humans in earth not in heaven that was after that he decided that certain humans will be taken to heaven but still his purpose is the original one according to Isaiah 55:11.

We would all die in our sins without forgiveness and without eternity in Heaven. Thank you Jesus for dying for us so that we may live forever with YOU!!!

We would have to convert to Judism and live under the law of Moses.

He didn't. God raised him up to himself. And in that case, and according to Paul himself, then all christianity is in vain.

Sweet Pea we would have no chance for heaven. He came to set the captives free, meaning us. He died for us to have a chance for eternity with or Father God. He arose so that we may see that he is the son of God. Good luck!
