“Are my loved ones in Heaven or not?”

What does it take to go to Heaven? I wonder about my family members who’ve died! Why would Jesus pray “Lead Me not into temptation” when God doesn’t tempt us? How can I interpret “having nothing to do with deeds of darkness” without getting legalistic? What is a good definition of “grace”?
