What does it mean for sins to be slain in the context of faith?

Answered in 1 source

Sins being slain through faith refers to the believer's complete reliance on Christ's sacrifice for salvation.

In the context of faith, the slaying of sins means recognizing that human attempts at righteousness cannot suffice; only Christ, through His death, truly conquers sin. The assurance believers hold is that, like Barak seeking Sisera, they can approach God with confidence to see their sins laid waste through Christ's atonement. This acknowledgment instills joy and hope, knowing that while the struggle against sin continues, the victory has already been assured by Christ's resurrection and the gift of the Holy Spirit, who empowers believers to pursue righteousness.
