Consolation is παρακλησισ / paraklesis; a calling alongside to help, as how the Spirit of God is named. This, along with the comfort and deep intimacy we receive from Him, should remind us of His love and mercy on us - and urge us on to seeking to be unified in the fundamental truths of the Bible, fueled by love and agreement on the essential truths, working together to so teach and live them together.
Philippians 2:1-2
1 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
