To me, these two are the primary vision God has for his Church. His "dream" is that we abide in his fullness, and produce children.

This is an awesome answer!
To add to it, we as his bride and as his body are to represent Him to the world. We are Christ's ambassadors and are to be like Him. We bring light and salt to a dark and unsavory world.
