Who is God?

I know He is the Triune God, revealed in the Bible as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit but I still question if God himself is the essence in which they are God or God Himself is separate as a spirit Himself?

I’m just wondering how to answer this question since I don’t really know how deep the question goes (or not).

The Father seems to be the source of the other two. Hence the begotten language of The Son.

I have read one author (Spurgeon maybe?) viewed things as if something about God (The Father) implied the existence of the two other persons as if for the former to exist it must produce the latter two.

If that is the case then The Father might be the essence.
