This means, of course, that they are not in a state of sin, that they have been forgiven and their heart has been changed and they have been given power over their sin by their Redeemer
How do you interprete that ? Does this mean they don't sin any longer ? Does this mean that their state is perfect and they do not sin in their hearts at all ?

I missed this post of yours and I believe deserves an answer:
It means that they now have a choice, to either cling to Jesus in continual faith and live above sin, or give up that faith, for whatever reason that may be, and sin.
That is the Power that Christ died to give sinners such as you and I.
A Power over sin.
For proof of that, all you need to do is review the scriptures I posted from Romans 7 and 8. Furthermore, read through 1 John chapter 1.
