What if we didn't have the Bible?

In the spirit of your question, it would depend on what point in history you are referring to. Abraham was saved when there were no Scriptures. (God first spoke to him in Genesis 12:2.)

There was a blood-Jew that went to my previous church whom God saved by speaking to him. The story is kind of funny, but I forgot the first part. God said something to him and he responded with "who are you?" God responded with "Jesus" and the guy's reaction was, "oh no!"

God can reveal himself to people through nature, too, if he chooses (Romans 1:19-20).

An answer that is less dependent on any particular point in time is that God progressively revealed himself for the very purpose of having the Bible so it would be easier to find him. First to Adam, then eventually to Moses, who, traditionally (I think), was the one that wrote down the first five books of the Bible.
LOL...that sounds like Paul

It would not matter.
Look, even if practically NOBODY knew what Jesus did for us, it would not matter...because it happened anyway!
He reconciled the world back to God. Done. Over. Finished.
There are many facts of history that we know nothing about, but the facts are still true.
Can't you sense what happens in you life based on your thoughts and actions? Don't things look great when you love and help others? Don't you end up with numerous problems in your life if you lie, steal or hurt someone?

I think we are given the choice to choose love, which the bible says God is, or evil. We accept or reject God by which path we choose.
