The answer
The General Resurrection is inevitable, because God’s providence for the creation of man is to always heal him. The General Resurrection is also important for the Judgement of the works of the body and the spirit, be they evil or good (John 5:28-29).
We must add that man himself strives for a joyous life with God in eternity. This end will not be realised, unless the spirit returns to the flesh, and through the resurrection.
