@somagumi:
They both mean what happens after something is done, but the first usually means the bad thing that happens while the second can mean either good or bad.
"Because you stole, now you have to face the consequences."
"You studied hard and as a result you passed your test."

Result is what directly follows an event, while consequences are events that follow later.
Example: If you answer wrongly on a test, the result is a bad grade, and the consequence is having to take the test again.
Also, "result" has a positive connotation while "consequence" has a negative connotation. If someone says "doing this will have consequences" they probably mean bad things.
