What is some Scripture that comes to mind regarding inner life? You mentioned 1 John 2:27, which is a good one:
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.
22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.
23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life.
26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.
27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.
Where does the Bible say (or indicate or imply is good enough) that we have "the life of Christ" in us, i.e. what verses do you have in mind when you say that?
What are some verses that say or imply that "His life is working in us"? (I think what I mean here is, is there really the thought in the Bible that His life is working, as a separately identifiable concept than just He is working?)
I'm not arguing for or against; I just want to start with Scripture so we have a common understanding of what we are talking about!

I like your approach Trapped; scripture first, then opinions.
