Jesus is salvation. Believe on Him, trust Him, love Him, repent to Him, walk with Him and when those moments come when you will need His saving grace, it will be Jesus who will rescue you from your dilemma and ultimately from the wrath and judgment of God.

The word, salvation, has more than one meaning. The Greek has more than one word for salvation as well. Maybe you should check those out before becoming dogmatic about it.
