"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."
Colossians 3:16 (NKJV)
Immersion schools develop children in a specific language through an education program done in another language. This means that classes dealing with things like math are done in another language. So, while the children are learning the different subjects, they are also developing their language skills. Another example of immersion would be if you were underwater scuba diving or deep sea diving and doing something while you were underwater. You are involved in some activity, and the entire time you are doing it you are immersed in the water.
The word immerse means to submerge something, to be put into something that entirely covers and surrounds a person or a thing. If someone or something is immersed in something, then what they are being immersed in covers every part of the person or thing. In a sense, being immersed in something could also be used to describe someone who is so caught up in, and focused on something that this thing dominates who they are and what they do, such as someone involved in training for a sporting event, or someone studying in a university.
In Colossians 3:16, it says we need to let the Word of Christ, God's Word, dwell in us richly. This is talking about our making God's Word a priority in our life so that our thinking, our actions, and our words all have their roots in biblical principles. We have to immerse ourselves in God's Word on a daily basis so that it is the main influence in our lives. If we are not immersed in God's Word to the point where it dwells in us richly, and it guides our life, then what is the governing factor of our life? We need to be immersed in God's Word so that it makes a difference in every area of our life.
