I have seen it described this way
God .......................the Father of us
Jesus ...................God the Son as us
Holy Spirit ...... God in us
God .......................the Father of us
Jesus ...................God the Son as us
Holy Spirit ...... God in us
John 14 has the Comforter sent to dwell in us as well as the Father and the Son abiding or tabernacling with us.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more;
but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in
me, and I in you. 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that
loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22 Judas saith unto
him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus
answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will
come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word
which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
If there was enough money in the budget I would hire you as my verse writer.
I think it only appears as there being three when really God is only one.
Jesus was God on earth. That's not actually two separate identities.
We're also told God is Holy Spirit. That means God is always that even here when he was called Jesus.
So really when the Holy Spirit is within us it's God living there.
We're in God and God is within us because our being is born from and through God.
Perhaps it may be less of a mystery when we consider that God is One.
Really? Are you unaware of all the applicable Scriptures or do you reject them?
It's a moot point. It's all God, the Godhead. The indwelling is via the Spirit. When you're baptized you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38). That's how God is indwelling in you by the Spirit being in you.
John 14:23, if anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father, will , love him and WW come to him, and make our ABODE with him. Also John 14:16, "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another helper, that He may be with your forever. vs17. that is the Spirt of truth etc." Also notice, this is a good Trinity verse showing the distinction of persons. There are others but these two are excellent verses.
IN GOD THE SON,
bluto
yea when all three are together in one you have the true God
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
1 John 5:7
“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
Colossians 2:9 KJV
there’s just one God
“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”
1 John 5:20 KJV
The indwelling is the role of the Holy Spirit, just as @Magenta has said:
It is true that the three are one, but the Trinity is taught for a reason. Jesus has ascended to the Father and will return soon. He has left us the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit.
John 14:23
“Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”
...in the form of the Holy Spirit.
Colossians 1:27
“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:”
...in the form of the Holy Spirit.
1 John 4:15
“Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him...”
...in the form of the Holy Spirit.
John 14:17
“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”
Yes, and He has the mind of Father and Son.

the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God that dwells within you.
The Spirit of God is God, connected to God, and always reflects God.
You could never Have the Spirit of God, without having All of God, because the Spirit comes after Believing in Jesus, Who is a Reflection of the Father [7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”]
