Precious is The Father, Who dwelleth in  the Heavens and Precious is the Lamb, Who died on the cross for our sins.
Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reaches unto the clouds. Psalms 36:5
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 1 Peter 2:7
Ephesians 2:15  Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16  And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17  And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18  For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Glory be unto Their Names, Both the Father and the Son.
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. Revelation 5:13

For he, who honors the Father, also honors the Son and he who honors the Son, also honors the Father.
That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. John 5:23

Isn't this also true on earth?
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. Proverbs 10:1

If a man, having a son, who is honored, doesn't that man feel honored?
A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother. Proverbs 15:20
The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. Proverbs 23:24

Also doesn't a loving son feel honored if his father is honored?
Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) Ephesians 6:2

This does not mean that they are the same person as some would contend, but instead proves that they are two separate persons bonded together for life.
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: John 8:54

There is no bond closer in heaven or earth, than the bond between the Heavenly Father and the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 2 Peter 1:17
