Liberalism is a highly hegemonic and maybe all encompassing force that stems from God as humans would NOT have the ability to reason to implement social justice WITHOUT The Holy Trinity.

HOT TAKE ANSWER:
A very tempting statement to make, since neoliberalism could be thereby reduced to a capitalist heresy. Liberalism is all about public goods and the rule of law. Neoliberalism is all about privatizing public goods (aka the commons) and legal institutions; and then eliminating legal powers that protect public interest, through capital's regulatory capture.
To declare that liberalism is divine means that neoliberalism 's regulatory capture and degradation of the rule of law are both heretical. Lovely!
But I think that's a bit too much wishful thinking, for a political philosophy that promotes human reason as the foundation of freedom.
The basic role of human reason is why, for example, the Introduction to John Stuart Mill's On Liberty is about the imminent ability of colonized people to decolonize and live by self-rule, and so the first chapter about how to ensure liberty is through a freedom of thought and expression. Liberalism means that people accomplish their self-governance (or assent to be governed) through dialogue and education. It is not until the final chapter of Mill's little book that finally explains the "harm principle" for guiding the legitimate use of legal power; the limits of personal freedoms.
If liberalism was a form of freedom that emanated from the Holy Trinity, then liberalism wouldn't be about the testing of ideas, but rather about divine revelation and hierarchy. Something like Mill's "harm principle" could be articulated by scripture or revelation or even dogma. Something like it, but not the same thing.
I think anyone who wants to follow your aphorism will be vexed to find that liberalism is based on (essays concerning) human understanding.
But what a relief if neoliberalism is a heresy! Neoliberalism can't abide freedom of thought and expression, because the marketplace of ideas is axiomatically the "public" part of the rule of law. Thought and expression can't be free when regulatory capture gets around to capturing the means of talking to each other.
HOWEVER, your aphorism is probably valid from the point of view of a person of faith who wants to use a faith-based institution (like a mosque, a convent, a hermitage) as part of civil society. From inside that institution, looking outward at the local neighbourhood or at the international order, it makes sense.
