But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works themselves,so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.” (John 10:38 )
Jesus made such statement to described the connection between him and the God are very close connection and relation but not in essence or existence.
But if we are to base the oneness of God and Jesus on those biblical passage (based on Trinity theory), then we have to equally accept what John himself had remarkes in the same Gospel that God must be consisting of not only three divine persons but 15 with inclusions of the twelve disciples as the Bible emphasizes in the following passage…Per assertion of the above quoted biblical passage, we may take for granted that Trinity is extandable to FIFTEENITY:
John 17:20-26
20- I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,
21-THAT ALL OF THEM (the desciples) MAY BE ONE, AS YOU,FATHER, ARE IN ME, AND I AM IN YOU. MAY THEY ALSO BE IN US, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
So the “in” in those verses its supposed to mean the very close connection between God and Jesus and the anyone who honestly following Jesus teached (the desciples)..
22- I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one
23- I IN THEM AND YOU IN ME — that THEY MAY BE PERFECTLY UNITED, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.
Jesus clearly wish for loveness of God not just for him but share the love together with his desciples..so Jesus and the desciples perfectly united with the love of God..
24-Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the GLORY YOU GAVE ME because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
The glory of Jesus was clearly given by God
25-Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.
Jesus want the world known the God as their God and know
that Jesus was sent by God (messenger)
26-And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR ME MAY BE IN THEM, AND I IN THEM.”
21-THAT ALL OF THEM (the desciples) MAY BE ONE, AS YOU,FATHER, ARE IN ME, AND I AM IN YOU. MAY THEY ALSO BE IN US, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
So the “in” in those verses its supposed to mean the very close connection between God and Jesus and the anyone who honestly following Jesus teached (the desciples)..

25-Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.
Jesus want the world known the God as their God and know
that Jesus was sent by God (messenger)
26-And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR ME MAY BE IN THEM, AND I IN THEM.”
Jesus make sure everyone remained known the name of God so God’s love that had by Jesus was remained in them too…
According to same verses (John 17:20-26), Jesus repeated again and again “You sent me” to strictyly state that he was sent by God (messenger).
John 17:20-26
20- I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,
21-that all of them may be one, as You,Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that YOU SENT ME.
22- I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one
23- I in them and You in Me — that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that YOU SENT ME and have loved them just as You have loved Me.
24- Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory you gave me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
25- Righteous Father, although the world has notknown You, I know You, and they know that YOU SENT ME.
26- And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. – 1John 4:12
Note: "live" & "in" on those verses is metaphorical which represent "very closer" or "close enough to love each other between God and human".

Disciples 'ONE' with God just like 'I and my Father are ONE'
Conclusion
People of the Book, do not go to excess in your religion, and do not say anything about God except the truth: the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was nothing more than a messenger of God, His word, directed to Mary, a spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers and do not speak of a 'Trinity'—stop, that is better for you—God is only one God, He is far above having a son, everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him and He is the best one to trust.
— Qur'an, sura 4 (An-Nisa), ayat 171
Those who say, "God is the Messiah, son of Mary," have defied God. The Messiah himself said; "Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord." If anyone associates others with God, God will forbid him from the Garden, and Hell will be his home. No one will help such evildoers. Those people who say that God is the third of three are defying [the truth]: there is only One God. If they persist in what they are saying, a painful punishment will afflict those of them who persist. Why do they not turn to God and ask his forgiveness, when God is most forgiving, most merciful? The Messiah, son of Mary, was only a messenger; other messengers had come and gone before him; his mother was a virtuous woman; both ate food. See how clear We make these signs for them; see how deluded they are.
— Qur'an, sura 5 (Al-Ma'ida), ayat 72-75[4]
John 20:17 King James Version (KJV)
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
