whether it was in the old testament or not it is still relevant, new covenant is a new way to have a relationship with God it doesn't disregard how God blesses ppl and how and what they do with and how they use those blessings. And yes job rich in the same way as the rich young ruler they both were given more than what they needed but they both used it differently
Well, while I will not declare that this is a 100% Bible fact and go beyond what is written to say for sure in regards to the rich young ruler and Job as having different wealth; But what I do know is that the Scriptures clearly teach that the Old Testament Laws and ways are no longer binding for the believer. Yes, many of the moral laws and truths have been repeated in the New Testament, but we don't follow the Old Covenant and yet also the New Covenant. There is no mixing of Covenant laws (Picking and choosing to follow only those OT Laws we think we should follow). We are not to put new wine into old wine skins. Understanding that the New Covenant is the only binding contract for believers today should be Christianity 101 Basics. You will find many verses that teach that the New Covenant is now what is in effect (And not the Old Covenant). We do not sacrifice animals still. Peter was told to break OT Law and eat unclean animals in a vision. Jesus essentially said that the OT Law involving an eye for an eye is not the way anymore and that we are to turn the other cheek if we are smitten instead. This lines up with what Paul teaches. For Paul says do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. This is important to understand because Jesus and Paul teach against one being rich. For if you are truly honest with yourself when you read 1 Timothy 6, you will come to the conclusion that a person cannot be rich and yet also follow Christ.
Anyways, do not take my word for it. You can do your own homework and decide by way of prayer for yourself with the many verses (Which is taught by Grace Community International) here (in regards to which Covenant we are to follow):

2 Peter 2:1-3
2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."
