What does it mean that 'in Him is no sin' positionally?

Answered in 1 source

'In Him is no sin' positionally means that believers, being united with Christ, are viewed by God as righteous and without sin.

Positionally, 'in Him is no sin' conveys a profound truth for believers: when God looks upon those who are in Christ, He sees them through the lens of Christ's righteousness rather than their own flawed state. This doctrine is beautifully illustrated in 2 Corinthians 5:17, which states that 'if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.' Additionally, Ephesians 1:4 affirms that God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. Therefore, believers are secure in their standing before God as accepted in the Beloved, regardless of their daily struggles with sin.
