 We are all (now this is biblical and it seems that's what you're asking) born with a sin nature and we all fall to it, we fall to it because we find pleasure in it physically and mentally, this is part of our inheritance from Adam and God says all men have sinned, except one, Jesus. Our spirit grieves our sin, that is we feel guilty and understand that we've done something wrong. Many people try to relieve this guilt by good works and/or loving others. The mistake with this type of thinking is we haven't made repentance to the One we've actually sinned against first, that being God. That is why Jesus is necessary in our lives, the Father sent Him as a payment for those sins and we are required to accept this work of God to be freed from the burden and punishment due sin. So to answer your question directly, no matter how good we are we are still guilty in sin unless we claim Jesus and his work to relieve us of the judgement sin brings. Until the day we die we will be sinful creatures because we are outside of the will of God, Jesus is our cleanser at the day of our judgement. I understand a lot of people do not like to hear this but, it's the plan of the omniscient God who created all and in His omniscience found this to be the only way of redeeming man.

I was kinda hoping that I was relay this same thing, but in a more... easy to understand way

 You did, I was wanting to put it a bit more to the biblical speech.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
