So, does that make Him worthy of worship to you, or does this cause you awe or do you simply see this as a piece of information that helps you to categorize Him?

Depending on how we understand Jesus, on how we see Him and what reaction that causes within us, this does something to us.
The we see and react to Jesus defines us as human beings.

I worship Him, but not as God. He is the King of Israel. I am a Gentile.

This is what the Bible tells us about Jesus:

Philippians 2:
6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

How do you worship Him?
And do you worship God the Father differently?
And how do you know where to draw the line in worshipping God and the Son of God who is a man to you? 🤔

I acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior, King, Prophet, Priest according to the order of Melchizedek, and the very Son of God.

I pray to God but not to Jesus.

Jesus is not only a man. He is also the Son of God.

I don't know of any line I am following.

Oh Jacob. You don’t know what you’re saying. It’s in Jesus’ name that we pray to the Father.

We must believe that Jesus was that PERFECT sacrifice that paid the price for the sins of the world. That is something only God could do. We all agree that Jesus now sits at the right hand of God and is no longer taking the form of a man or servant, correct?

God bless you.

In the Bible, the term 'sons of God' and Son of God' refer to different spirit beings.
May I ask what kind of spirit being Jesus is to you?
Do you not believe that He is in very nature God who humbled Himself to become a man for a while?

I have not extrapolated all of that from scripture but it sounds nice.
