God is a Spirit

Some might ask if God creates human beings in mothers' wombs, why'd nobody see God? Quran 48:26 mentions the phrase, the SPIRIT of God. Or in other words, God is a SPIRIT. As God is a SPIRIT, how could we see God then? The following is the extract:

Quran 48:26, " (Asad) Whereas they who are bent on denying the truth harboured a stubborn disdain in their hearts - the stubborn disdain [born] of ignorance GOD bestowed from on high His [gift of] inner peace upon His Apostle and the believers, and bound them to the SPIRIT of GOD-consciousness: for they were most worthy of this [divine gift], and deserved it well. And GOD has full knowledge of all things. "
