Absolutely correct.
We do not have to eat Asparagus, but we can if we want to.
The commandments/Law of God can never make God to be for us. He is already for us in Christ. By trusting Christ, we are in Christ so that no commandment-keeping can make us acceptable to God. HE is and us in Him makes us acceptable!
We are acceptable in Christ which puts commandment-keeping at a lower level. The way to live the Christian life is not by focusing on commandments or law keeping. They can help discern the path of love, but the key to living the Christian life is now very different than a focus on commandment-keeping toward pleasing God and bringing us one hundred percent into his favor.
