How does honoring the Son relate to knowing the Father?

Answered in 1 source

Honoring the Son is directly tied to truly knowing the Father, as they are one in essence.

The relationship between honoring the Son and knowing the Father is profoundly interconnected. As articulated in John 5:23, those who do not honor the Son do not honor the Father who sent Him. This statement highlights that recognition of Christ's divine authority is essential for a legitimate relationship with God. Furthermore, John 8:19 illustrates that knowledge of the Father comes through knowing the Son, as Jesus said, 'You neither know Me nor My Father.' To honor the Son is to acknowledge His position and identity as the incarnate God, which in turn affirms one's understanding of the Father’s nature and attributes. Hence, true worship and understanding of God necessitate a rightful acknowledgment of His Son.
