So in the same field/planet we have wheat/God's seed and weeds/seed of satan growing and working together. Jesus said wait to the harvest before these two are seperated. the harvest being after the end of days/final judgement.
For those who love God the answer is clear in that we must seek the atonement offered so we can be with God forever.
Those who hate God/serve a different master will not see the opportunity God has provided.
Why do you want to be with God forever, If we put aside idea about hell?
Love.
Every been loved by a really awesome parent who could help you grown and offer you anything to reach your fullest potential?
I know I sould like a nutter when I say I got to experience that love only for a moment, but it was so... complete perfect warm and inviting, I felt like I could never want to leave it...
Love is the only legit reason to want to be with God. again a child who loves his parents given the oppertunity to reunite needs no other reason.. Granted if God is not your father then you will never see a need to return.

As an aside, I wonder how many different metaphors and similes the Bible used to express essentially the same idea: "Our team good; others bad".
not good or bad those are the devils terms.
The devil controls what is good or bad.
God seeks righteousness from us not 'morality.' Righteousness is a standard that never changes. what is righteous will always be righteous, even if pop morality deems what was one good, now bad.
for instance it is unrighteous to kill a child/baby
however it is not only moral to kill a baby by pop moral standards, it is immoral to tell a woman she can kill her baby. All anyone need do to justify a child's death is to rename it a "fetus" (latin for baby) and pop morality says you can kill as many as you like for something as trivial as a job or the baby interferes with life plans.. These foolish reason would never change the unrighteous death.. It was an unrighteous and and is an unrighteous act.
Again remember this is not morality standard where one must be punished for an immoral act. so there potential attonement for such an act. actually for all acts there can be atonement.
